A potential plan to bring the 2042 Winter Olympics to New York City and Lake Placid kicked off in earnest Monday with the meeting of a state-appointed Exploratory Committee that will help decide whether the Empire State should go for the gold with the joint venture.
Gov. Kathy Hochul said the committee includes an all-star roster of more than 90 experts in a variety of fields — including business, government, sports, and community leadership — that will examine the feasibility of making a joint bid between the Big Apple and Lake Placid for the 2042 Winter Olympics and Paralympics. New York City has never hosted an Olympic Games of any kind, while Lake Placid held the Winter Olympics in 1932 and 1980.
