VIRGIL — Greek Peak Mountain Resort must refinance several loans after regulators shut down its lender, Nashville–based Tennessee Commerce Bank, last week.
Loans made to Greek Peak were not acquired by another bank. Greek Peak has retained BDO Capital Advisors, LLC, an affiliate of the Delaware professional services firm BDO USA, LLC, as an investment banker to help as it refinances the loans.

Greek Peak completed part of its expansion, the new 5,600-square-foot Acropolis Conference Center, in November 2011. It previously completed work on a new Adventure Center, Hope Lake Lodge, and Cascades Indoor Waterpark.
The ski resort includes 32 trails, a beginners’ slope, three terrain parks, a progression park, and a Nordic Center with cross-country and snowshoe trails. It employs 600 part-time and seasonal employees.
