Legislation that would pave the way for a casino in Fairfax County will soon head to Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger, who could sign, amend or veto it.
The Virginia House of Delegates passed SB 756 from Senate Majority Leader Scott Surovell by 64-32 today (Wednesday), advancing a legislative effort that has gained momentum over the past few years alongside increasingly vocal opposition from many local residents and elected officials.
If signed into law by Spanberger, Fairfax County will join Norfolk, Petersburg, Bristol, Portsmouth and Danville on Virginia’s list of localities eligible to host a casino.
