Wisconsin Gov. Jim Doyle plans to make an announcement Friday related to Chicago’s bid to host the 2016 Olympics.
Doyle and Chicago 2016’s operations chief say they will talk about collaborations involving the city of Madison and the surrounding area.
Doyle’s spokeswoman had no immediate comment Thursday.
A spokeswoman for the Olympic bid effort says the press conference will show how the Madison area would be affected if Chicago won the bid. She declined to provide details.
There has been speculation that if the Olympics were to be in Chicago in 2016, southern Wisconsin could play a role by hosting some events or housing athletes.
A decision on Chicago’s bid comes in October.
