GCTC Feasibility Study Report

• Feasibility Study Observations
• GC is a new and unique idea to the TC area and
  could be a great asset to the community, but
  there needs to be a more clear differentiation
  from other services currently provided.
• A defined location or specific neighborhood for
  the clubhouse will increase the support for the
  project.

  the Twin Cities. There needs to be greater
  awareness locally.
• 4. Need to find influential and affluent
  individuals
