Moving up 26 spots from 2014,
Logan, Utah, placed ninth overall in the
Milken Institute’s Best-Performing Cities
index for 2015. Excellent job growth and a collection of diverse technology companies contributed to Logan’s significant leap in the small city division, the study said.
Key to Logan’s performance is an abundance of cutting-edge technology firms like Autonomous Solutions, Inc. (ASI). Located a scenic twenty minutes from downtown Logan, ASI develops, tests, and deploys robotic vehicle hardware and software for a number of industries ranging from mining to industrial cleaning.

“Job growth [in the Logan metro area] outperformed the national average and ranked in the upper echelon in both the one-year and five-year periods ending in 2014,” the study read. Sparked by an increased global focus on automation and productivity, particularly in the mining industry, ASI’s growth mirrors Logan’s trend having grown from 28 employees in 2011 to nearly 120 employees today.
