❤️ MY HOME!
Never forgetting our roots. Today, with Russell Westbrook, we're proud to announce an investment with Echo to fund sports and entertainment in Oklahoma City. Our partnership signals an eight-figure investment into the city where our founder still calls home to this day. "I spent a significant amount of time in Oklahoma City," said Russell. "That place is special and like a second home." The investment firm also plans to put money into the development of a 12,000 seat stadium for the Energy FC soccer team, the stadium's surrounding areas and entertainment district featuring dining, retail and community spaces. 📝 Bloomberg: https://lnkd.in/gEZmggFb
