The Oakport Team had a great time meeting with the leadership of the African American Sports Entertainment Group at our SupplyBank.org offices in the City of Oakland to talk about the Oakport project. Our team also had the privilege to hear an overview of AASEG’s inspiring plans for the Oakland Coliseum Complex. Both organizations have members with deep roots in this community and are committed to its success. These two projects will provide a great step in that direction with extraordinary opportunities for East Oakland’s community, waterfront, job creation for our neighbors and a tremendous boost to the overall local economy. We’re excited to see their progress, support their success and look forward to working together in the future. With L.K.
