Late last month, No Means No Casino, an anti-casino group founded by Paul Goldman, won a legal fight against the state over voter registration lists. The referendum results come after an intense competition between supporters and opponents of the casino project in Richmond. Now, the margin is even higher, as suggested by a report released by NBC12, revealing that some 61% of the Richmonders voted against the casino project based on data from the Virginia Board of Elections. At the time, some 51% of the residents voted against the project with 49% supporting it. However, opponents disagreed with the positive aspect of a casino in Richmond, warning it would bring financial hardships and crime.īack in 2021, Richmond voters once again were asked to vote in favor or against a casino project. Supporters of the project said that it would bring economic stimulus, boost tourism and local businesses. The proposed $562 million project sought the development of Richmond Grand Resort and Casino, a new casino that would’ve been constructed just off Interstate 95. Residents of Richmond, Virginia, once again voted against a proposed project that called for the development of a casino.
