The future of the Olympics in Lake Placid - Jan. 22

Facility tours hosted by ORDA begin at 3 p.m. (Preregistration required)

Panel discussion begins at 5 p.m.

Join Adirondack Explorer for a discussion of the North Country’s prized Olympic facilities and the prospect of New York hosting a future Winter Olympics. Come early for a tour of improvements at the Mt. Van Hoevenberg sliding track from the Olympic Regional Development Authority.

New York lawmakers in recent years have invested tens of millions of dollars in ORDA to upgrade the state’s Olympic sporting venues and attract international competition.

How have those investments benefited the region? How do we protect them for future generations? Will the North Country continue to attract international competitions and are they worth it?

And will New York ever host an Olympic Games again?

Hear from ORDA CEO Ashley Walden, National Public Radio reporter Brian Mann and others on these questions and more.

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
