Wednesday, November 12, 2003 Auer named Wieland VP John Wieland Homes & Neighborhoods has named Scott Auer Vice President of the company's South Region in a move that positions the company for further growth and expansion. Wieland's South Region encompasses all of the company's operations on the Southside of Atlanta including Fayette County, South Fulton County and Dekalb County. A graduate of North Carolina State University, Auer became interested in homebuilding through his volunteer involvement with Habitat for Humanity. He moved to Atlanta in 1994 and soon after joined John Wieland as a finish manager in north Atlanta. Scott soon progressed to builder, project manager and eventually region manager in Wieland's Northwest Atlanta Region, garnering extensive construction experience with both single-family homes and townhomes. Notably, Auer's responsibilities as a region manager included Wieland's most successful neighborhood, Vinings Estates in Cobb County, which set a company record for number of homes closed in 2002 and was also home to the 2002 New American Home that drew more than 20,000 visitors in a six-week period. "Scott has distinguished himself as one of the Region Managers for the Northwest Region and has handled tremendous volume over the last few years," said Wieland President Eric Price. "I am certain he will do an excellent job leading the South Region as they continue to grow." Wieland's South Region includes eleven neighborhoods throughout Fayette, South Fulton and Dekalb counties and closed 279 homes for revenues of $93 million last year. Founded by John Wieland in 1970, John Wieland Homes & Neighborhoods is currently building in 60 neighborhoods throughout the Southeast, with 1608 closings and revenues of $605 million in 2003. Named National Builder of the Year and National Housing Quality Award Winner, the company is the Southeast's leading builder of move-up homes.
