Jamaican Bobsled Team Would Train Locally Under Proposed Partnership

The village of Saranac Lake and town of Harrietstown are supporting a potential partnership between Franklin County and the Jamaican bobsled team. The Adirondack Daily Enterprise reports the arrangement would have the county put up $135,000 of bed tax dollars to make the Hotel Saranac the team’s home away from home while they practice sliding at Mount Van Hoevenberg in Lake Placid this winter, and potentially bring Franklin County to the world stage.
