Creighton Manning provided survey and mapping, design, construction support, and environmental permitting including NYS DEC SPDES and ACOE wetland and stream disturbance. The project was delivered in preparation for the 2021 Bobsled and Skeleton World Championships, a precursor to World University Games 2023 and World Championships 2025. Creighton Manning’s involvement assisted with the transformation of Mount Van Hoevenberg into one of the greatest Nordic venues in the world.
