The Green Bay Packers is owned by a publicly held nonprofit corporation. If an NFL franchise can be owned by the public, perhaps a similar model can be applied to the Etowah Valley Golf Resort.

Similarly, the Hendersonville Co-op has 3,000 family/owners, which might be the type of ownership idea the Etowah Community could pursue.

Hendersonville Community Co-op marks 35 years (blueridgenow.com)
