The state of N.Y. is “forming an exploratory committee to consider whether” Lake Placid and N.Y. “should bid to co-host a future Winter Olympics.” The announcement Monday from N.Y. Gov. Kathy Hochul’s office “suggested a dual-hosting format.” It “does not mention a year,” but the “first likely available spot for New York to host would be 2042.” The exploratory committee “will take about a year to complete its work.” The formation of the committee “does not mean New York is officially involved in a bid process.” The chair of the committee will be Ashley Walden, president and CEO of the Olympic Regional Development Authority (AP, 6/21).
