From Legos to baseball stadiums: Meet the ‘builder’ at Larry H. Miller Co.
Steve Miller, 52, is the chairman of the board of the company that his father, the late Larry H. Miller, built and that his mother, Gail, has continued to run as the matriarch of the Miller clan.
The Miller empire has changed dramatically the past couple of years with the sale of the Utah Jazz and the auto dealerships that for decades were the pillars of one of the state’s most prominent enterprises.
Gail Miller served as board chair for five years before turning it over to Steve Miller in 2021. He has worked in almost every aspect of the business but never as the frontman like, say, Bono, the lead singer of his favorite band, U2. He’s more like Adam Clayton, the bass guitarist laying down the rhythmic and harmonic foundation.
Read more about Steve Miller and his conversation with reporter Dennis Romboy talking about Legos, the Jazz and what he learned from Larry and Gail Miller.
The four states are not taking land and they are not buying water rights. But the Colorado River is in trouble and the Upper Basin states are saving water where they can when it comes to consumptive use.
Consumptive use is different than diversions. It means letting some fields grow dry, or doing a split season of irrigation. It can mean growing different crops.
The Upper Basin consists of Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and Wyoming.
The new concept is called the System Conservation Pilot Program. And a staff engineer with the Colorado River Authority of Utah explained to the Utah Water Task Force this week that it is beginning to work.
“The Colorado River Basin is facing water scarcity,” said Lily Bosworth.
Read more about the new commitment from four states to address water scarcity.
