With the third and final phase of the famed elevated park in Manhattan now under construction, Robert Hammond says he will step down as executive director of the High Line by year's end. He co-founded the nonprofit group with Joshua David, now the Friends’ chief development officer, in 1999.
“I always had three goals for the High Line: that it’s a well-loved park, that it inspires others to start their own projects and that it not be dependent on Josh and me,” he told the New York Times. “It’s a good time to transition. I’m an entrepreneur at heart. My gut has been telling me that it’s time to start something new.”
Good for him. He should have no problem finding another job in parks and recreation that pays $317,600 a year.
