Alexandria Mayor Justin Wilson said a last-ditch effort to pair the Potomac Yard arena with a Fairfax casino was “disappointing.”
The Washington Post reported over the weekend that an alternative plan formed between political leaders and developers to merge the arena and the Northern Virginia casino.
Apparently, however, both Monumental owner Ted Leonsis and Gov. Glenn Youngkin shot down the proposal before it could get off the ground.
Wilson said the proposal would circumvent the public process and isn’t how business should be done in Virginia.
This is not the way that business should be done in our Commonwealth.
The City has worked to give Alexandrians an opportunity to consider a unique economic development opportunity.
This is disappointing.https://t.co/jCa45s4i5G

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above.
