Despite the excitement surrounding the proposed Tysons casino in Fairfax County, Virginia, a cloud of concern has overshadowed the project. Intelligence and defense experts have been vocal about the potential hazards this development might bring. With more than 100 experts highlighting the casino’s possible national security threats, the project spearheaded by Comstock Holding Companies has ignited a passionate debate. This Reston-based developer, alongside supporters, has already invested around $2 million to raise awareness and push for legislative approval. However, the opposition is intensifying, with former intelligence and defense figures stating that such a casino in northern Virginia could have dire consequences.
The pushback isn’t just from local communities; the concern has reverberated through the halls of power. A letter, signed by 109 former intelligence and defense experts associated with the National Security Leaders for Fairfax, was distributed to key members of the Virginia General Assembly, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors, and Governor Glenn Youngkin. The experts stressed the casino’s precarious proximity to sensitive defense and intelligence establishments, including Lockheed Martin, Boeing, BAE, Man Tech, and Leidos. Most alarmingly, the proposed site is near the National Counterterrorism Center, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, and the Central Intelligence Agency – sensitive institutions employing over 20,000 federal employees privy to crucial national security information.
