New York state's exploratory committee is evaluating a potential bid for Lake Placid and New York City to co-host a future Winter Olympics. Governor Kathy Hochul announced this initiative, highlighting Lake Placid's historical significance as a two-time Winter Games host. The committee will take about a year to assess the viability of such a bid, possibly targeting the 2042 Olympics, given that Salt Lake City will host in 2034. The committee will be chaired by Ashley Walden, president and CEO of the Olympic Regional Development Authority.
