>> have a good one. >> this is a wbal-tv 11 editorial from president and general manager dan joerres. >> in the most hotly contested bidding process in the history of the international olympic committee, the washington- baltimore region lost its bid for the 2012 olympics. however, the dream is still alive, especially for dan knise, who is ceo of the 2012 coalition, and appears to be up for the task again. knise is now setting his sights on the 2024 games, and testing the waters to see if civic and financial support is as

optimistic as he is. with the belief that the region still has what made it attractive in the previous bid, including the largest sports infrastructure in a 40-mile radius, some supporters believe a bid is possible. mayor stephanie rawlings-blake sees the olympic games as a phenomenal opportunity to showcase the region. the dollar signs are big on both sides. a 2000 study projected it would cost $2 billion to build and run, but would return more than $5 billion and create about 70,000 jobs between concept and the games. the united states olympic committee has indicated they are willing to bid again, despite losing to london this year. the 2016 games are scheduled for brazil, and the finalists are already decided for the 2020 games. the ioc will choose the host city for the 2024 games in 2017. the bid process is a marathon that starts with a five-year proposal period, and concludes with a seven-year building and preparation time for the host city. the decision to bid will be made locally over the next year. the exposure the olympics would bring to baltimore and washington would be a win-win

for both cities and the entire region.
