SAN FRANCISCO-The San Francisco Board of Supervisors has voted 11-0 to give the city’s Olympic bid a vital green light. This decision comes three years ahead of schedule.

The Bay Area’s proposal designated the Expo Center as the “credential center” for the 2012 games. As far as development goes, county facilities at the site would be upgraded, including Expo Hall and Fiesta Hall, and another 150,000-sf of temporary buildings would also be built on the grounds.
