The Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute announces its next Newsmaker Breakfast, a monthly event highlighting important issues impacting Utahns.
On July 24, the International Olympic Committee will vote on the 2034 Winter Olympic Games host city. Both the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee and Salt Lake City-Utah Committee for the Games are confident Salt Lake City, Utah, will be chosen to host the games for a second time. Ahead of the vote, the Gardner Institute has worked with the organizing committee to determine the potential economic and fiscal impacts of hosting the event, which includes direct expenditures and additional economic activity, jobs, and revenue generated in the state.
Join committee members and researchers for a discussion on the results and what they mean ahead of the 2034 Games. The Gardner Institute will release a research brief summarizing the results.
The conversation will be moderated by Gardner Institute Director Natalie Gochnour. Media are invited to attend and ask questions.
