Thousands of people have signed a petition in opposition to an Irving rezoning proposal that would allow casino gaming — if legalized — in a proposed mixed-use entertainment district.
The petition on Change.org titled “Stop the Rezoning of PUD 6 for “Destination Resort/Casino” called on Irving residents to take action and stop the casino, citing concerns about increased crime and outside influence on local government. It had more than 2,600 signatures as of Thursday afternoon and was still gaining signatures a day before a town hall over the development.
“Instead of relying on a casino that preys on our most vulnerable citizens, we should focus on developments that truly benefit Irving—like small businesses, green spaces, and family-friendly attractions,” the petition says.
