Vienna Town Council voted unanimously Monday night to include a measure in its 2024 legislative agenda opposing plans to build a casino in Fairfax County.
The adopted agenda included the following measure, which was based on language suggested by Councilmember Chuck Anderson:
“The Town of Vienna opposes any action to establish, or facilitate the establishment of, any gambling casino in Fairfax County. The Town particularly opposes any such action which would lead to the establishment of a gambling facility in the Tysons area. Any such facility likely would have substantial deleterious effects on the quality of life in Vienna, including increased traffic, additional costs to locally owned independent businesses, and erosion of public morals.”
