you could set it as a group_var in your inventory.
Do you mind me asking what's going on with your roles there (I don't
understand what the target var is for)?
If you have 2 different roles that you want to apply to groups,
couldn't you just have multiple plays?
...
...
- hosts: Lower_Envs
roles:
- role_mhe_config_lower
- hosts: Upper_Envs
roles:
- role_mhe_config_upper
...
...
