Olympic Sports Complex Expansion Will Appear On Ballot

New York voters will decide in November whether to expand the Olympic Sports Complex at Mount Van Hoevenberg. The change would allow new ski and biathlon trails on a portion of protected forest land near Lake Placid. FingerLakes 1 reports the proposal, listed as Proposal Number One on the 2025 statewide ballot, seeks permission to build up to 323 acres of new trails and facilities inside the 1,039-acre complex in North Elba. The site hosted the Winter Olympics in 1932 and 1980.
