Comment on new museum

SNOW Sports Museum

Placer County has released a Draft Environmental Impact Report for the SNOW Sports Museum and Community Cultural Center in Olympic Valley. Written public comments will be accepted through 5 p.m. Aug. 23. The report is available online.

The proposed project would include construction of a museum and cultural center celebrating the 1960 Winter Olympics and history of winter sports in the Sierra Nevada. The two-story building would consist of up to 20,000 square feet with a maximum height of 30 feet, as well as outdoor gathering spaces and amenities. The building would include a museum of Olympic and Sierra Nevada ski history, cultural community center, event space, visitor center, café and museum shop. | placer.ca.gov
