The San Diego County Board of Supervisors Tuesday unanimously backed the efforts of a committee that is exploring whether San Diego should bid for the 2024 Summer Olympic Games.
Chairman Greg Cox said San Diego hosting the 2024 Games is “probably a long shot”, but urged the board to get behind the effort to “showcase the entire region by hosting the Summer Olympics”.
He said, “if we were successful in 2024, or 2028, or 2032, I think there’s no doubt that it could be a significant and lasting way to energize a lot of people in the San Diego region, and probably see a lot of major infrastructure improvements that are long overdue”.
Supervisor Bill Horn said he supported the Olympic bid “as long as we don’t spend any of our money to bring them here”.
