NATIONAL, (WDNews) – The International Olympic Committee announced today that Salt Lake City, Utah will be the home of the 2034 Winter Olympics.
Salt Lake City previously hosted the 2002 Winter Olympics.
Utah Gov. Spencer Cox and Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall were in Paris this week to gain support for Salt Lake City to be chosen as the host city.
Olympic Games Executive Director Christophe Dubi has said Salt Lake City would be a prime candidate for a host city.
Salt Lake City says there will be no new permanent construction for the Games, as they will utilize buildings from the 2002 Winter Olympics, therefore not burdening local residents with taxes or ongoing construction.
The 2024 Summer Olympics are currently underway in Paris, France.
The Olympic Games will return to US soil in 2028 where Los Angeles, California will host the Summer Olympic Games.
