Fairfax County’s Board of Supervisors (Board) has expressed its opposition to this legislation in its 2026 General Assembly Legislative program, which stated that the Board “Oppose[s] legislation in the General Assembly that authorizes a casino in Fairfax County without any request for such legislation from the Board of Supervisors.” Additionally, the Board’s Chairman reinforced this opposition in a December 9, 2025 letter to the leadership of the General Assembly, stating that with respect to the proposal to authorize a Fairfax Casino: “Fairfax County has not …requested such authority.” A casino in Tysons/Fairfax would likely have substantial harmful effects on the quality of life in the communities in and surrounding Tysons and would likely result in only incremental benefits. Therefore, I ask that you reject the bill and pass it by indefinitely.

I want all of my VA delegates and representatives to oppose this SB756 legislation targeting Fairfax County as a future site for a casino. No, no, absolutely not, NO!!! My family has lived in the county for decades, and the county’s beauty, its resources, and much of its culture has been changed by GREED. Enough! We here work hard and contribute A TON of taxes. We’re law-abiding and ask for little. But NO CASINO is our utmost demand. No to the unsavory elements a casino is sure to bring; to the added traffic and consequent pollution it will add; no to the devastation the chosen site will suffer; JUST NO! No casino, no casino, no, no, no to your idea of a casino on Fairfax County VA.

I oppose any casinos in Fairfax Co. or VA. They bring crime and other issues.

I object to any casino development and related bill(s).

Object to all said bills and any casios developments.

There are seven key reasons why I ask that you kill this bill: First, Fairfax County’s Board of Supervisors does not want this authority. Second, if the General Assembly were to approve SB 756 would set a dangerous precedent that would be worrisome for other localities. Third, SB 756 usurps the local land-use authority granted to Fairfax County by the Commonwealth. Fourth, 75% percent of Fairfax County voters and 62% of votes in patrons district oppose a casino. Fifth, Fairfax County and Tysons are not failing. Tysons and the County are, and will continue to be, strong contributors to the Commonwealth’s economic health. In contrast, a casino would threaten our economic vitality Sixth, A casino would draw substantial additional vehicle traffic, placing further strain on already overburdened infrastructure and negatively affecting residents’ daily commutes and quality of life. Seventh, Research and experience from other jurisdictions suggest that casinos can contribute to increases in certain types of crime and place additional demands on local law enforcement and social services. Please do the right thing and reject SB 756. Thank you.

No Casino anywhere in Fairfax County. We want FX CTY to be a safe and family oriented community.

no one wants a casino in fairfax county and more especially the area of tysons. the local economy is already strong and unemployment is low. build the casino outside of northern virginia. the local population is internet savvy and can gamble online and have the means to either go to nearby casinos in West Virginia or Maryland. Many people can also afford a trip to Vegas over the weekend. This proposal is a strong misread of a Fairfax County population.

Disregard for elected leadership - The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors has formally opposed casino legislation in its 2026 Legislative Agenda. We should not be discussing this!

Veto the bill!

No Casino in Tysons Corner Violation of local control: The bill bypasses Fairfax County’s established land use authority, was not requested by local officials or residents, and contradicts the county’s comprehensive plan. Disregard for elected leadership: The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors has formally opposed casino legislation in its 2026 Legislative Agenda. Public opposition: Surveys show roughly 75% of Fairfax County residents oppose a casino, cutting across demographics and political lines; 66% of residents associated with unions who were polled oppose a casino. A Direct Assault on a Prosperous Economic Powerhouse: This Bill singles out one of Virginia’s most dynamic and thriving economic and residential centers and threatens to destabilize what works. Introducing casino gambling in Fairfax County jeopardizes a proven success story for speculative gains. Unfounded financial claims: The bill’s promoters promise unrealistic economic benefits—such as a 10% reduction in real estate taxes—that would require casino revenues far beyond what major casinos generate. Break from state precedent: Virginia’s existing casino policy limits authorizations to economically distressed localities; SB 756 instead targets a thriving region contributing around 20% of Virginia’s General Fund revenue.

VETO THE BILL, Please Reject the bill and pass it by indefinitely.

This is a God fearing community and God specifically prohibits gambling. There are many Mosques, Churches, Synagogues and many houses of worship right down the road from this proposed site. We reject this casino fully for our community, our kids, and generations. We must make the right decisions and stand for our principles. We will answer to the future generations.

Please veto immediately and introduce a bill that will not allow other congressmen to propose casinos in a place other than their own jurisdiction. That this keeps coming up and getting vetoed is proof that the va congress only cares about seeking favor with business interests rather than caring about VA residents

Subject Line: Reject SB 756 I strongly oppose a casino in Fairfax County and am writing to ask that you reject SB 756, a Senate bill referred to the General Laws Committee. The bill would authorize a casino in any location within Fairfax County that is part of a coordinated mixed-use project development consisting of no less than 1.5 million square feet. There are seven key reasons why I ask that you kill this bill: First, Fairfax County’s Board of Supervisors does not want this authority. They emphatically stated in their 2026 General Assembly Legislative Program that they had neither requested nor wanted a casino in the County. Their specific words were: “[We] oppose legislation in the General Assembly that authorizes a casino in Fairfax County without any request for such legislation from the Board of Supervisors.” The Chairman of the Board of Supervisors underscored this point in a December 9, 2025 letter to the leadership of the General Assembly, stating: “Fairfax County has not requested such authority.” Second, if the General Assembly were to approve SB 756 — authorizing a casino without a local government request — it would set a dangerous precedent that would be worrisome for other localities. Third, SB 756 usurps the local land-use authority granted to Fairfax County by the Commonwealth and would establish a precedent for the erosion of land-use authority in other localities on this and other issues. Fourth, seventy-five percent of Fairfax County voters — across demographic, ethnic, racial, and economic lines — oppose a casino. This includes two-thirds of union members and 62% of voters who live in the Senate patron’s district. Fifth, Fairfax County and Tysons are not failing, as the patron of SB 756 has repeatedly claimed. Tysons and the County are, and will continue to be, strong contributors to the Commonwealth’s economic health. In contrast, a casino would threaten our economic vitality and, therefore, our ability to remain key contributors to the Commonwealth. As numerous major property owners told one of our Supervisors, “…a casino would have a chilling effect on their businesses [and] chase away employers, residents, and investors.” Sixth, our region already faces severe traffic congestion. A casino would draw substantial additional vehicle traffic, placing further strain on already overburdened infrastructure and negatively affecting residents’ daily commutes and quality of life. Seventh, I am concerned about the broader social impacts. Research and experience from other jurisdictions suggest that casinos can contribute to increases in certain types of crime and place additional demands on local law enforcement and social services. These risks should not be taken lightly, especially in a community that has not requested or broadly supported such development. Please do the right thing and reject SB 756. Thank you.

I oppose this bill because it violates local control. Specifically, the bill bypasses Fairfax County’s established land use authority, was not requested by local officials or residents, and contradicts the county’s comprehensive plan.

I urge you to oppose SB 756, authorizing a casino in Fairfax County, because we have deep concerns about it. It Totally Ignores the Wishes of the People of Fairfax County. Multiple polls have shown that the people of Fairfax County do not want a casino. Opposition is widespread (75% opposed, county-wide) and crosses political, economic, and racial divisions.

We do not need this. History shows that this solves no problems and makes new ones.

I oppose SB756. It is not needed and certainly not wanted. There is strong popular opposition to having a casino in Fairfax County.

Surveys show roughly 75% of Fairfax County residents oppose a casino, cutting across demographics and political lines; 66% of residents associated with unions who were polled oppose a casino.

I oppose SB756.

A casino will NOT benefit any of us!!!!!!!!!! It's going to line the pockets of the casino owners and the SCUM who accept their bribes to pass this!!!!! This will bring crime, lower the value of homes, and have an overall NEGATIVE impact and that negative impact will EXPONENTIALLY overshadow any purported "positive" of having a casino. NO CASINO!!!!!! NO ONE WANTS A CASINO!!!!!

Living in Fairfax County, we truly value the safety and security of our neighborhoods and the strong sense of community they provide. But, as projected the revenue for the gambling/gaming center benefits are uncertain and that most tax money would go to the state rather than Fairfax County, while the county would absorb mitigation costs for police, traffic, and social services. We as residents opposing to this project.
