What’s This Year’s Proposition Over the Adirondacks Olympic Sports Complex?

New York voters are deciding on Proposition 1, a measure to amend the state constitution’s “Forever Wild” clause to allow the Mount Van Hoevenberg Olympic Sports Complex to continue operating on protected land. A “yes” vote enables 323 acres for Nordic skiing and biathlon trails and requires the state to add 2,500 acres of preserved land elsewhere. Environmental groups like Protect the Adirondacks support the amendment, which they say maintains the spirit of the original law while allowing limited development.
