Relates to the Mount Van Hoevenberg Olympic Sports Complex in Essex County

Bill S 6888 implements a constitutional amendment for the Mount Van Hoevenberg Olympic Sports Complex in Essex County. It establishes rules for the construction, operation, and maintenance of the complex on forest preserve lands. The bill limits the use of forest preserve land for Nordic skiing, biathlon trails, and necessary facilities to 322.26 acres. As an offset, the state must acquire at least 2,500 acres of land to add to the forest preserve in the Adirondack park, subject to legislative approval. The bill also defines specific facilities that are allowed or prohibited at the complex, such as excluding hotels or zip lines.
