Show Notes

The legacy of the 1980 Winter Olympics looms large in New York’s collective memory. But even after millions of dollars in state subsidies and investments, the future of the Lake Placid region is an open question. A new investigation into the Olympic Regional Development Authority raises questions about return on investment, management, and more. The new piece in “Adirondack Life” is called “New York State’s risky investment in Lake Placid’s Olympic Dream,” co-authored by upstate resident and NPR reporter Brian Mann.
