SALT LAKE CITY — With dreams of once again hosting the Winter Olympics burning strong, members of a Utah House committee met with local leaders Thursday to receive an update on Salt Lake City's bid for the 2030 or 2034 games.
"A reimagined game, a new game, a new generation of children that can experience the game," said Fraser Bullock, president and CEO of the committee."Forty percent more events, really different games with the same purpose of really uniting our community and uniting the world.""The IOC has stated they're exploring the potential opportunity for a dual award of 2030 games and 2034 games in 2024," Bullock explained.
Many Utahns wonder how the infrastructure needed to host the Olympics again could impact their wallets, but Bullock says it won't. The group says they are working to finish the IOC requirements and are 90% complete with all the questions, 75% complete with annexes like maps and financial information, and 70-78% complete with sets of guarantees.
