Rockingham County is abuzz with conversation over a possible casino that could come to the western part of the county, and a vote to rezone 192 acres of farmland near Madison is scheduled for Monday evening.
Just 25 miles away from Danville, Virginia, where a temporary casino recently opened, Reidsville notices people crossing state lines to gamble.
Reidsville’s council went into a closed session this afternoon to discuss economic development, and when they emerged, the mayor was reluctant to talk about the casino.
“We had a discussion about a potential economic development that might be here in the county,” Mayor Donald Gorham said.
