The concept mirrors the Milan-Cortina model used for the 2026 Games, with both host pairs separated by roughly 250 miles.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Carroll has called for an exploratory committee of 30 to 40 officials and civic leaders; the governor, New York City mayor and Lake Placid mayor would all need to support any formal submission to the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee.<\/p>\n<p>The earliest a New York Games could occur is approximately 2042, given the Olympics\u2019 existing schedule.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u2730\u2730\u2730<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p> <a style=\"font-size: inherit; background-color: #fefefe;\" href=\"https:\/\/brooklyneagle.com\/whats-news-breaking\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wnb-read-more aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/read-more-wnb-shad-1024x341.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"341\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSd5hEdpXLwpeWAPMPmcmdn--vHz1InXjphFdhedt_prXKoVFQ\/viewform\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ultima-reader-response.png\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\t<br \/>\n<a class=\"related-articles comment-link\" style=\"clear: both;padding-top:6px;color:#6cc4e8;\" href=\"#comments\" title=\"Leave a Comment\"\/><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/brooklyneagle.com\/374654\/coney-island-parks-gear-up-for-opening-weekend\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/denopics1-250x250.jpg\" class=\"alignleft wp-post-image\" alt=\"Deno's Wonder Wheel is preparing for its opening day.
