Over the summer, the Sierra Nevada Olympic & Winter Sports Museum completed an Environmental Impact Report, which assess potential impacts and mitigation measures associated with the Museum’s construction and operation in the County Park at the entrance to Olympic Valley. Co-Applicant, Placer County will lead the public review period, anticipated to finish by Spring, 2024. The County will manage park operations, maintenance and activities post construction.
