The first of three opportunities for residents to weigh in on a proposed 200-room hotel and gaming center called "The Rose" starts Tuesday, September 7.
The new center would sit on 94 acres of land in Dumfries -- 22 of which are now the Potomac Landfill, a debris landfill next to Interstate 95. That landfill would close as part of the deal proposed by Colonial Downs, the New Kent County-based firm that operates Rosies Gaming Emporium in Dumfries, and wants to build the new $390 million gaming resort that would primarily feature slot machines.
The Rose could open sometime before 2025. And, while the Town Council won't take up the proposed gaming center at its 7 p.m. meeting on Tuesday, residents will have the opportunity to speak on the matter during citizen comment time.
