Wintergreen to Restructure, Cut Jobs

Financial problems are prompting Wintergreen Resort to cut some jobs and take other measures to reduce costs.

The News & Advance (http://bit.ly/zJRXgR ) says the restructuring announced Wednesday by Wintergreen Partners Inc. includes eliminating fewer than a dozen full-time jobs and modifying operating hours for some amenities.

The restructuring is expected to save about $1.5 million annually beginning July 1.

Wintergreen also is taking steps to generate revenue, including creating a private debt offering for its members.

Last week, board of directors chairman L. Allen Bennett told the resort's members in a letter that mild weather has hurt revenues.

Bank of America has terminated Wintergreen's line of credit. The resort also is negotiating with the state over conservation easement tax credits.
