Some Virginia residents may vote on whether they want a casino in their city in November 2024. It doesn’t look like residents of Fairfax County will be among those voters, however, due to recent action in a Virginia Senate committee.
The committee has shelved a bill that would have established a referendum along those lines. While that action doesn’t eliminate Fairfax County from consideration for the location of Virginia’s fifth casino, it gives another spot a clear advantage.
According to an article by Angela Woolsey of FFXnow, the Virginia Senate Finance & Appropriations Resources Subcommittee has voted to shelve SB675 for future consideration. That bill would allow residents of Tysons, Virginia, and the surrounding area to vote on whether they want to allow a casino in their vicinity.
