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
