The leaders of the Senate Finance and Appropriations and House Appropriations committees confirmed Friday that the budget deal they partially unveiled the day before includes language that would delay state licensing of a proposed casino in South Richmond even if voters approve it in the fall.

Richmond casino redo can go on ballot, but Va. budget would delay licensing

(Richmond).- Richmond can proceed with a second voter referendum on a casino in November, but a new state budget agreement would not allow the Virginia Lottery to license the facility if it’s approved until after completion of legislative study of a potential rival site in Petersburg.
The Senate had included a prohibition against a second Richmond casino referendum in its version of the budget this winter. Budget negotiators changed tactics after a Richmond judge approved putting the referendum on the ballot for city voters who rejected the project last year.
“They can have a referendum if they want to, but we just won’t agree to issue the license,” said House Appropriations Chair Barry Knight, R-Virginia Beach, who was one of the sponsors of legislation two years ago that allowed referendums on legalized casino gaming in five cities, including Richmond.
