New Poll Favors Lake Tahoe Olympic Bid
Posted on May 7, 2008
The last time the Winter Olympics were held in Lake Tahoe was in 1960 at Squaw Valley. Organizers of an effort to bring a future Winter Olympics to Reno and Lake Tahoe said Thursday they are encouraged by new poll results that show a majority of area residents support the idea.
The survey also revealed that the two primary reasons those were opposed and don’t want the Olympic Games here - traffic congestion during the events as well as problems related to construction leading up to them.
Fifty-one percent of those surveyed said they support or strongly support the idea of Reno-Tahoe hosting a future Olympic Winter Games while 31 percent said they do not or strongly do not, with 18 percent answering “not sure.”
