That amount includes $92.5 million for a strategic upgrade and modernization plan to support improvements to the Olympic facilities and ski resorts in and around Lake Placid with a focus on preparing for the 2023 World University Games.
At the Games, an international sports and cultural event held every two years, more than 2,400 student-athletes compete in winter sports including alpine, freestyle and cross-country skiing, biathlon, speed skating, curling, figure skating, hockey, short-track speed skating and snowboarding.
“These events will attract thousands of visitors and contribute to Lake Placid’s destination as a world class destination,” said the executive budget briefing book.
