Comstock Holding Companies Inc., the Fairfax County developer who is seeking to build a casino at or near the Wiehle-Reston East Metro Station, has made a number moves in the last few weeks in preparation for the start of the 2024 Virginia General Assembly session on Jan. 10.

This included hiring lobbyists and donating more than half a million dollars to candidates and political action committees it supported.

Patch broke the story on Sept. 25 that Comstock was seeking to build a casino on the Silver Line in Reston, according to multiple local officials.
