CHICAGO, Nov. 30, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GCM Grosvenor (NASDAQ: GCMG), a leading global alternative asset management solutions provider, announced today that it has entered into an agreement with ReEnergy Holdings LLC (“ReEnergy”), under which GCM Grosvenor acquired a majority ownership stake in ReSource Waste Services (“ReSource” or the “Company”), New England’s largest processor of construction and demolition (“C&D”) material.
