"We are very pleased to have Tara join our firm," said James Burnett, FASLA, OJB Founder and President. "She has a proven track record and exceptional experience in leading one of the most successful urban parks in the world. She will play a big role in the planning and programming of OJB's park projects as we look to support our clients in their desire to activate and create sustainable business plans. She is an expert in her field and understands firsthand how to create a successful park that stays true to the design and generates the revenue needed to maintain the park at a high level."

Prior to joining Klyde Warren Park, Green served as the chief operating officer for the North Texas Super Bowl XLV Host Committee, chief revenue officer for American Airlines Center, and vice president of sports marketing for the Dallas Convention and Visitors Bureau.

"I am thrilled to be joining this world-class firm. I have seen firsthand how talented and insightful the team at OJB are. Their design of Klyde Warren Park has allowed it to thrive in the five years since it opened. This new opportunity will allow me to combine my knowledge and experience with their amazing designs to create new urban parks and campus projects around the country," said Green.
