Reply to comment by CrassostreaVirginica in Casino tops Richmond wish list [to VA General Assembly], but affordable housing lies at the heart by CrassostreaVirginica
>to prevent any state effort to accelerate the required completion of a $1.3 billion combined-sewer cleanup of the James River before 2035.
If the state and/or Fed chips in more dollars, then just get it done. If they don't, 2035 isn't realistic if it's solely funded by local dollars

The casino plan was for them to pay Richmond $20 million plus $1 million per year, along with donating some amount to charity and another music venue.
Since we can authorize them or not they had to pay Richmond an extra tax, on top of another business moving into an empty area.
