According  to an article in the Park Record, the Summit County Council this week approved a beautiful new addition to the Utah Olympic Sports Park.  Summit County Council members called the Utah Olympic Park rezone an enormous asset to the community prior to approving the expansion of the park to include 67,000 square feet of athlete housing comprising about 112 lodge units, a 40,000-square-foot sports medicine and training facility, expansion of the existing Day Lodge, and additional office space.

The Olympic Park was built prior to the 2002 Winter Olympics and since then has been operating as a venue for international and local athletes to train as well as hosting World Cup events for skeleton, bobsled and ski jumping competition.

Colin Hilton, head of the Utah Olympic Legacy Foundation, said “the additional buildings will show Utah's commitment to the legacy of the Olympics, increase the possibility that Utah will host the Olympics again, and keep the venue financially viable without relying on the Olympic endowment fund”.
