The Odd Couple
One of Tom Miller's precepts at Drees Company is that it never hurts to ask. And so he did. In early spring, he put to the city of Erlanger, Ky., a proposal. He suggested that two of home building's frequent adversaries embark on a joint effort to develop a park and open space system.A dual approach would not only enhance a local Drees community, he reckoned, it also would help the city preserve more land for public use. Soon after, they contributed $60,000 (Erlanger $40,000, Drees $20,000) to hire Human Nature, a Cincinnati landscape architecture firm.
