Gov. Youngkin ‘befuddled’ as Potomac Yard arena plan is in death throes in Richmond
Youngkin said the revenue from the Potomac Yard arena could go back into transportation priorities like I-81, toll relief, and Metro funding. Youngkin had signaled interest in working with Northern Virginia to support Metro through a budget crisis, an outcome that is uncertain with the Potomac Yard arena bargaining chip off the table.
“The Senate refused to give the single largest economic development deal in Virginia’s history any serious, meaningful consideration, breaking their own long-standing tradition in the process and avoiding the broad bipartisan support in both houses,” Youngkin said. “This bill would pass.”
