200 Park Avenue
Norfolk, Virginia
The long-delayed Norfolk casino project appears to be saved by a last-minute change in partners and a new plan. The Pamunkey Tribe is now partnered with Boyd Gaming, a multibillion Las Vegas company with 28 casinos nationwide. The new plan is to meet the Nov. 2025 state deadline for a gaming license by opening a transitional casino by mid-October 2025. A permanent casino will replace the transitional casino in Sept. 2027.
The hotel will have 200 rooms, meeting space, a spa and a gym. A transitional casino will open before the state deadline of Nov.5, 2025.Norfolk Resort & Casino - Released Aug. 15, 2024
The $500 million Norfolk casino will open in Sept. 2027 at a location along the Elizabeth River next to Harbor Park. The casino will feature 1,500 slot machines, 50 table games, eight restaurants and bars, a 200-room hotel with a spa and meeting space, and a 1.300-space parking garage.
Development Schedule
In September 2024 the future of the long-delayed Norfolk casino began looking brighter. The Norfolk City Council has approved a revised development plan that has added Boyd Gaming as a partner with the Pamunkey Indian Tribe. Boyd Gaming is a multi-billion Las Vegas company that owns and operates 28 other casino nationwide, including Sky River Casino, an Indian casino near Sacramento.
The Norfolk casino project is facing a Nov. 5, 2025 deadline for obtaining a casino license, or starting over to face another voter referendum. The new plan will start construction of the permanent casino in mid-January 2025 and then start construction a transitional casino a month later. The transitional casino would be completed by mid-October 2025, in time to secure a casino license before the deadline. Construction of the permanent casino would continue until its completion in August 2027. The permanent Norfolk casino would open in September 2027.
Norfolk Casino History
The original Norfolk casino project never gained approval for construction. The project was named the 'HeadWaters Resort & Casino' and included a casino with 2,000 slot machines and 50 table games, a hotel with 300 rooms, a spa and a rooftop pool, multiple restaurants including a steakhouse, an event center and a rooftop entertainment area.
The Pamunkey Indian Tribe had partnered Golden Eagle Consulting, a casino development company owned by Jon Yarbrough, a billionaire gaming industry veteran. For four years the partnership failed to get city approval to build the casino.
In September 2024 Boyd Gaming, a successful Las Vegas casino developer and operator, bought out Jon Yarbrough's ownership in Golden Eagle Consulting. Boyd Gaming manages 28 casinos across 10 states including Sky River Casino, a large Indian casino near Sacramento.
The new partnership of the Pamunkey Indian Tribe and Boyd Gaming are now working feverish with the city to save the Norfolk casino project before the November 2025 licensing deadline.

The latest plans for building the Norfolk casino project were approved by the Architectural Review Board on Monday by a 6-1 vote. The board said there are still concerns that some of the design details remain undefined; and therefore, the approval comes with conditions.

Board member Gregory Rutledge said this: "It's going to be an icon on the waterfront, it's going to be a symbol on the intercoastal waterway. These buildings [have] got to be right, it's got to look right, it's got to stand up for the test of time, so these details matter."
The board wants more specific details about the building concepts and the types of materials to be used. These factors will determine how the sun reflects off the building.
The Cape Henry Audubon Society is concerned that birds may be harmed by the casino design. Audubon representative Pat Scanlon told the board that birds could "become exhausted from the light and swirling and going nowhere then they start crashing into buildings."
"If we were to approve this at this level and never see it again, we'd have no idea that the finished project would look like what we saw today," Rutledge said. "We have several specific details that we want them to come back and show us how they're developing the exterior design of the building, but also come back and what we call a design development phase of the project. Not quite 100% design, but it's further along than what we saw today."
- Gregory Rutledge, Architectural Review Board
The Norfolk Casino project plans will next be reviewed for approval by the Norfolk City Planning Commission.

Additional information about the new Norfolk Casino agreement with the City of Norfolk was disclosed yesterday. The topics include Amtrack support, the city land sale for the casino, and the smoking policy inside the casino
Casino Land
The Norfolk casino will purchase 8 acres of the city-owned land adjacent to Harbor Park. The purchase price will be $10 million. The size of the casino site was reduced from an original 13.4 acres to allow construction of a 17-foot-high seawall along the riverbank.
Amtrack Parking
Amtrack riders currently park on the city land that will become the building site for the casino. These riders will continue to park free in that area during construction and after the casino opens. A shuttle service will transport Amtrack riders from a temporary parking lot during construction. When the 1,300-space parking garage is completed, there will be 103 spaces reserved for Amtrak customers.
Smoking Areas
Smoking will be allowed inside a designated area of the gaming area of the Norfolk casino. Blueprints show "best-in-class ventilation systems" to protect nonsmoking areas.

Pamunkey Indian Tribe Chief Robert Gray told news media Wednesday he has "absolute confidence" the long-delayed Norfolk casino will finally be built.
The chief's comments came after Tuesday night's vote by the Norfolk City Council to approve a revised casino plan that added Boyd Gaming Corp. as a partner in the tribe's casino project.

Boyd Gaming brings a major lift to saving the failing Norfolk casino project. Chief Gray said, "We always knew we were going to need a professional management team and that's what we did. We went searching out, talked to several, but extremely impressed with Boyd's experience."
Construction will start at the start of 2025 pending approvals of the architectural plans and the building permits.

After years of delays the Norfolk City Council took major action last night to move the Norfolk casino project closer to construction. The council voted 7-1 to approve a revised casino plan from the Pamunkey Indian Tribe that adds Boyd Gaming as a new partner.
[No Ads]Norfolk bets on new partner to bring casino to life - Courtesy of WAVY TV 10, Sep 10, 2024. Available from YouTube
Here are the major issues approved last night by the Norfolk City Council:
PARTNERSHIP
The City Council approved Boyd Gaming as a new partner with the Pamunkey Tribe. Boyd will replace Jon Yarbrough, an original investor, and will buy out Yarbrough's interest in Golden Eagle Consulting II, LLC, the operating entity for the Norfolk casino.
CASINO SITE
The council update the option to sell 6 acres of city-owned land for the casino site near the Elizabeth River and Harbor Park. The site was originally 13.4 acres; however, the land was reduced to 6 acres to accomodate for construction of a seawall. The City Manager is now authorized to execute the development agreement and site plan agreements.
TRANSITIONAL CASINO
The construction of the Norfolk casino will be a "single-phase project" which includes a temporary, or transitional, casino. Construction of the permanent casino will start in mid-January 2025. Construction of the temporary casino will follow the next month. The temporary casino will be completed by October 2025 and open before the November deadline. The permanent casino will be completed in August 2025 and open in the next month.
HOTEL CHANGES
The council accepted the plan to downsize the size of the hotel from 300 rooms to 200 rooms.
NAME CHANGE
The casino no longer has an official name. The Headwaters name and brand are officially gone. A temporary nickname is "Project Mermaid."
Norfolk Mayor Kenneth Alexander was excited about the City Council's vote. He said "I am excited to recognize this significant milestone in our journey to bring a world-class casino and hotel resort to the Harbor Park Entertainment District."

The Norfolk City Council will meet tomorrow evening to decide whether to accept the latest casino plan from the Pamunkey Indian Tribe and Boyd Gaming Corp. The city council's decision includes selling 6 acres of city land next to Harbor Park to the casino partners for the casino site.
The latest casino plan seeks to resolve differences between the tribe and the city on pre-requirement issues that have caused long delays in starting construction. Here are the major changes introduced in the new casino plan:
Ownership Change
The plan would replace the original development partner of the Pamunkey Tribe, Golden Eagle Consulting II, LLC., with a new partner, Boyd Gaming Corp. Boyd is a multi-billion casino developer and operator headquartered near Las Vegas. The Pamunkey Tribe would retain 20% ownership in the new partnership.
Casino Name
The casino will no longer be named the HeadWaters Resort & Casino. It is now the Norfolk Casino. However, that name seems generic and may be temporary pending further development of the plan.
Transitional Casino
The city has opposed building a temporary casino before building a permanent None. The latest plan calls for a temporary casino to open within a year to meet the Nov. 5, 2025 deadline to get a casino license. Construction of the permanent casino will follow in a second phase which is targeted for completion in Sept. 2027.
Hotel Change
The new plan will downsize the hotel size from 300 rooms to 200 rooms. The change is based on market analysis and will reduce construction costs.
Opening Dates
The temporary casino will open next year before Nov. 5 deadline. The permanent Norfolk casino and hotel will open in September 2027.
Next Step
The Norfolk City Council will meet tomorrow night at 6 pm to decide the next steps in the future of the Norfolk Casino.

A shocking change in the stalled Norfolk casino project may be emerging. The Norfolk City Council will meet on Sept. 10 to vote on replacing the current casino developer, Golden Eagle Consulting, with Boyd Gaming Corp., a multi-billion-dollar Las Vegas casino company.
[No Ads]Norfolk casino has new development partner - Courtesy of WAVY TV 10, Sep 3, 2024. Available from YouTube
Boyd Gaming is seeking to buy out Golden Eagle's interest in the Norfolk casino to become the casino's only partner with the Pamunkey Indian Tribe.
The Boyd and the Pamunkey issued this short statement:
"Boyd Gaming has started the process required to help the Tribe bring its vision to fruition, in a way that will deliver meaningful benefits for the Tribe, the city of Norfolk and the Commonwealth of Virginia."
- Boyd Gaming, Pamunkey Tribe
The original plan by the Pamunkey Indian Tribe to build the HeadWaters Resort & Casino on the Elizabeth River next to Harbor Park was approved by Norfolk voters in 2020. Since then, there has been little progress towards city approval for construction. If a casino license is not approved by the deadline date of Nov. 5, 2025, the Norfolk casino project will return to the people for a new vote.
To meet the deadline, Boyd is proposing building a "transitional" casino with construction beginning next February. That casino would be operational before the Nov. 2025 deadline.
Further details are expected to be released next week when the Norfolk City Council meets.

Did the Norfolk casino project just drop its Headwaters Resort & Casino name? It certainly appeared that way during Monday's meeting of the Norfolk Architectural Review Board meeting and the casino's design company.
[No Ads]Is 'Headwaters' name out for Norfolk casino? - Courtesy of WAVY TV 10, Aug 19, 2024. Available from YouTube
During the meeting, HKS architectural firm presented new design details and renderings for the long-delayed casino project planned at the Elizabeth River next to Harbor Park. No where in the presentation was the name "HeadWaters Resort & Casino". That name was replaced on every slide and casino rendering with the name "Norfolk Casino". {See renderings}.
Board member Greg Rutledge asked if the HeadWaters name was dropped, and an architectural representative said "it may be". The name is being reevaluated by the Pamunkey Indian Tribe.
The Architectural Review Board has scheduled a follow-up meeting with the tribe and the design company for the first week of September.

August 19, 2024
Norfolk's Architectural Review Board (ARB) met today to review revised plans for building the HeadWaters Resort & Casino on city-owned land adjacent to Harbor Park. The HKS architectural firm presented the board with design changes and with drawings for the project. (See new renderings.)
There were two major changes from the plans:
Single Construction Phase
The original plan to build the HeadWaters Resort & Casino had two phases. The first phase would build the casino and parking. The second phase would build the hotel. The plan has been revised and will now build the entire project in one phase.
Downsized Hotel
The original plan for a hotel has been downsized from 300 to 200 rooms. To reduce costs, the rooftop pool will be replaced with an outdoor pool and bar. The hotel will now be five stories with 200 rooms, a spa and fitness center. The parking garage has also been downsized from 1,200 spaces to 935 spaces.
If the Norfolk Architectural Review Board approves the new casino plans, they will be sent to the Norfolk City Council for review. The plans must be approved by the City Council before the land can be sold to the casino and construction crews can break ground on the $500 million casino resort.

Last April, the long-delayed Norfolk casino project prompted some city officials to question whether it is time to move on with a new casino developer.
Since that time the Pamunkey Indian Tribe and its financial backer Golden Eagle Consulting LLC have been revising the casino project, which had been presented to the city last December, to satisfy the requirements of the Architectural Review Board.
The Norfolk casino plan must pass the Architectural Review Board and be approved by the Norfolk City Council before the city will sell the land for the casino and hotel at the Elizabeth River site next to Harbor Park.
New details about the casino are expected to be unveiled at the board meeting on Monday. The timeline will also need to be addressed since the casino has a deadline for obtaining a gaming license by November 2025.
The Norfolk casino project began five years ago when the Pamunkey Indian Tribe proposed building a $500 million commercial casino and hotel on a on 13.4- acres of city land along the Elizabeth River next to Harbor Park.
Norfolk voters approved the casino in November 2020 setting a five-year deadline for opening. If more time is needed for construction, State lawmakers may be able to extend the deadline, or another referendum may also extend the date.

As delay after delay continues with the Headwaters Resort and Casino project, is it finally time for Norfolk city officials to move on to a new casino developer? It has been over three years since the Pamunkey Indian Tribe signed a development agreement with the City of Norfolk to build a $500M casino and hotel next to Harbor Park, and nothing has happened. Plans are not finalized, and construction has not started.
[No Advertisements]City officials on the casino's future - Courtesy of 13News Now, Apr 4, 2024. Available from YouTube
The Norfolk casino referendum was approved by voters in Nov. 2020 with a five-year deadline for completion. If HeadWaters Resort & Casino does not open by November 2025, another voter referendum is required. To meet the deadline, construction of the HeadWaters Casino must start this Spring.
Norfolk City Attorney Bernard Pishko said this week:
"We're working with the casino developer and will have a casino with them, and if they don't perform, we will have somebody take their place.
"We're starting to get ready in the event that they run out of time."
- Bernard Pishko, Norfolk City Attorney
Pishko said Norfolk officials are worried about the lack of progress with the casino, and are considering contingency plans. So far there have been no talks with other ccasino developers.

The developers of the HeadWaters Resort & Casino project met again with the Norfolk Architectural Review Board last week to review the final building plans for the casino hotel project. And once again the developers for the Pamunkey Indian Tribe requested a delay of the review to allow additional time to complete design changes requested by the board. A rescheduled meeting date was not set.
[No Ads]Meeting on Norfolk casino future postponed again - Courtesy of WAVY TV 10, Jan 22, 2024. Available from YouTube
The design delay results partially from the Coastal Storm Risk Management Project which will protect Norfolk for storm damage and rising sea levels. The project requires a 17-foot-high floodwall be built along eight miles of the north shore of the Elizabeth River. This has created design changes for the casino. The marina plan has been scrapped, the casino has been repositioned, and the landscaping has been redesigned.

In a scheduled meeting Monday with the Norfolk Architectural Review Board, the developers of the HeadWaters Resort & Casino project asked for a delay in presenting their final construction design for review. The Board agreed to reschedule the presentation into its January 22 meeting.
Approval of the final plans by the Architectural Review Board is a prerequisite for construction. The City of Norfolk is selling 13.5 acres of waterfront property to the Pamunkey Indian Tribe as for the building site of the HeadWaters Resort & Casino.
Building plans for the Norfolk casino have changed many times since voters approve the project in 2020. The legal deadline for construction to be completed and the casino to be operational is November 2025.

The major changes in this construction plan compared to previous versions include:
Construction will be continuous rather than in two phases separated by a time gap.
A partial casino will open during construction before the casino and hotel are finished.
HeadWaters will have a smaller footprint with no waterfront on the Elizabeth River and no marina.
The plan will be reviewed by the Norfolk Architecture Review Board on Jan. 8, 2024. The City Planning Commission will review the plan in late January. In February, the City Council will hold meet and vote on the plan.
If the plan is approved, construction of the HeadWaters Resort & Casino could begin in Spring 2024. The deadline for completion is November 2025.
"Our continuous construction is in response to the city wanting to see what the entire project [looks like] and getting the whole thing built as quickly as possible.
"We need to start construction in spring of '24 to meet our statutory requirement of opening game operations by November 2025."
- Jay Smith, HeadWaters spokesperson
The HeadWaters casino will initially open with 800-1,000 slot machines and 20-25 table games. When the casino is totally finished, there will be 2,000 slot machines and 50 table games.

A HeadWaters Casino spokesperson explained:
"We submitted our preliminary site plan application, and that really sets in motion the next step which is for our development certificate application and final site plan application to be submitted to the city in early December."
- - Jay Smith, HeadWaters Resort & Casino
Robert Gray, Chief of the Pamunkey Indian Tribe, issued this statement:
"Our team has been meeting routinely with city staff to review the project plans and discuss the development timeline. We want to get this project up and running as soon as possible to start generating revenue for our tribe, for the other recognized Virginia tribes that will benefit from this project, and for the City of Norfolk, its citizens and the Commonwealth of Virginia."
The Pamunkey Tribe will file an application for final site plan approval along with an application for a Development Certificate by Dec. 11, 2023. The Norfolk Architectural Review Board is expected to review the plans in early January. The Planning Commission would follow with their review in late January. The City Council would then hold hearings in February and vote on whether to approve.
If approved, the HeadWaters Resort & Casino would proceed with the groundbreaking and construction in 2024.
"The first phase would include casino floor, a restaurant, parking structure, and some back-of-house operations. That would open in 2025. Immediately after that, we would work on phase 2, which would be the hotel tower, additional restaurants, more casino space."
- Jay Smith, HeadWaters Resort & Casino
When built, the HeadWaters Resort & Casino will be a $500 million casino hotel on the Elizabeth River next to Harbor Park. HeadWaters will feature 3,000 slot machines, 50 table games, and a 200-room hotel.

That project status was addressed this week by Norfolk's new City Manager Patrick Roberts.

In an unexpected move yesterday, the Pamunkey Indian Tribe and their developer partners withdrew a building application from the Norfolk architectural review board. The latest plans for the Headwaters Resort and Casino were to be presented to the review board yesterday as a first step for a building certificate. A second meeting was scheduled for Thursday with the city planning commission.
Instead, the casino development team will meet privately with city officials today. It is unknown which city officials will attend and how this might impact the casino project. Both meetings will be rescheduled.

According to a prior news release, casino officials said they received two letters from the city with contradictory guidance. The first letter was dated March 1, and the second letter was dated July 14. Casino officials said they sought the Tuesday meeting "to get clarity from the City on its proposed path to acquire the land and begin construction on the resort as soon as possible.""Despite changes of direction and the City's desire to reduce the land we have available to build on, we intend to follow through on this pledge to build a $500 million resort and casino featuring a high end 200-room hotel and other amenities. We are looking forward to a fresh start with the new city manager and his team on Tuesday."
- Robert Gray, Pamunkey Chief
The latest proposal for the Headwaters Resort and Casino was released in June. Two previous plans to build a temporary casino were scrapped. The new plan will cost $500 million and be built in two phases. Phase one will build a casino with 3,000 slot machines, 150 table games, sports bar, restaurants, and 1,200-space parking structure. Phase two will add a hotel, pool, spa, and a 2,500-seat entertainment venue.

In a WAVY TV 10 interview with Norfolk's City Manager Larry "Chip" Filer, Filer said the city is hopeful to see progress in the very near future. Norfolk is waiting for the final site plans for the casino. When those plans are approved by the Virginia Lottery Board, the city will transfer the 14-acre casino land to the Pamunkey Indian Tribe. The Tribe has been paying $100,000/year for the option to purchase the land.
Some progress was made last week. Norfolk officials and the Tribe reached a temporary lease agreement for the parking lot at Harbor Park baseball stadium for the purpose of staging construction equipment and materials needed to build the temporary casino and the permanent Headwaters Resort Casino.

The Pamunkey Tribe plan to operate a temporary casino during the two-year construction of the HeadWaters Resort & Casino. However, the initial plan to locate the temporary gaming operation inside the ballpark at Harbor Park has been scrapped due to a street address requirement.
Virginia allows the five casinos designated by the 2019 gambling law to operate temporary casinos during construction of a permanent casino. The law further specifies that both the temporary and the permanent casino must have the same address.
The address of the future HeadWaters Resort & Casino will be 200 Park Ave. The address of the Harbor Park baseball stadium is 150 Park Ave. Thus, the plan has been revised to now build the interim casino on the 13.4-acre site of the HeadWaters Casino.
A construction site plan will soon be completed and submitted to the Norfolk City Council. If approved by the council, HeadWaters will begin construction of the temporary casino. Completion is forecast for March 2023.
Further details about gaming and amenities of the temporary gaming facility have not been released to the public as of this date.

Norfolk city officials have changed the address of Harbor Park to allow for a temporary casino to operate inside the stadium during the two-year construction of the HeadWaters Resort & Casino.
The address change appears to accommodate specific language in the 2020 casino referendum passed by Norfolk voters. The referendum authorizes casino gambling at a site "with an approximate street address of 200 Park Avenue."
The HeadWaters temporary casino will operate inside the Harbor Park Stadium, where the old address has been 150 Park Avenue since the stadium opened in 1993. City officials claim the address change is a "boundary adjustment" common in redevelopment project, and deny it is a specific remedy for the temporary casino.

The Norfolk City Council held a public hearing Tuesday before voting 7-1 to approve a land sale and intergovernmental agreement with the Pamunkey Indian Tribe. The agreement is a major step forward for the Tribe's plan to build a $700 million riverfront casino and hotel in Norfolk.
The Pamunkey Indian Tribe is proposing to build a casino with 3,500 to 4,500 slot machines and up to 225 table games, a 750-seat entertainment venue, 3-5 restaurants, a hotel and spa, and a waterfront promenade.
The sale agreement for 13 acres of city-owned land to the Pamunkey Tribe is contingent upon the tribe getting final casino approval from either the state for a commercial casino or the federal govenment for an Indian gaming casino.
TERMS OF THE DEAL
1. Land Purchase
The City of Norfolk will sell 13.25 acres of land to the Pamunkey Tribe on a five-year option to buy. The Tribe will pay $100,000 per year for the option and $10 million to purchase the land if their casino application is successful. The current market value is $750,000 per acre.
2. Revenue Sharing Agreement
If the casino is approved under the U,S, Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, The Tribe will pay 4% of gambling revenues to the City of Norfolk. If the casino is licensed under Virginia law, the Tribe will be taxed per state law.
TIMEFRAME
The timeframe for opening a casino in Norfolk is likely 3-4 years away. The Virginia General Assembly is considering legislation that will mandate voter approval in five cities with proposed casinos. If passed in the next legislative session, these casino referendums would appear on the November 2021 ballot. If passed by the voters, construction of a commercial casino in Norfolk would start soon afterwards, and completion would be in 2022-2023.
If the Pamunkey Indian Tribe does not pursue a federally-approved tribal casino, the voter process would be bypassed. However, the federal process is lengthy and the timeframe is similar.

The Pamunkey Tribe has announced negotiations with the City of Norfolk to purchase 20 acres of riverfront property owned by the city for the purpose of building a $700 million casino and hotel. The site is near the Amtrak Station and Harbor Park stadium.
In March 2018, two years after the Pamunkey Indians were recognized by the federal government, the tribe announced plans to build a casino with hotel and spa somewhere in Eastern Virginia.
A month later the Pamunkeys announced the purchase of 610 acres in New Kent County as a potential building site for their casino project. The location is east of Richmond at the Exit 205 interchange on I-64. The tribe also said at the time it had not committed to build there and would continue to seek other opportunities including land in Richmond and its vicinity.
When the final decision is made about the casino location, the Pamunkeys will petition the federal Bureau of Indian Affairs to take that land into federal trust as part of their reservation land.

A possible resort casino could be developed in New Kent County. The Pamunkey Indian Tribe purchased over 600 acres of land. The property is being considered for the casino project.
However, this is not the only potential location. Other areas in central and eastern Virginia are being considered.
Plans were previously announced for the tribe's desire to develop a casino resort. Acquiring land is one of the main tasks that the tribe has undertaken in order to make progress on their casino plans.
Located off of Interstate 64 and the Bottoms Bridge-Quinton exit, the property makes up four parcels. An LLC bought the land for $3.05 million according to tax records from the county. The mailing address matches the same as a video game operator with a state approved license, named B&B Amusement of Illinois. The company operates over 60 venues.
The tribe wants to build a gaming facility with a hotel, entertainment venue, and spa. The estimated cost to complete the project will be $700 million.
Full time positions would be available for 4,000 people. Payroll would equal around $200 million. The state could earn an estimated $1 billion from gaming revenue taxes.
Both the state and the local community where the project would be built would benefit in the revenue sharing.
The tribe would also like to be able to provide rural Virginia with broadband. They also would like to fund housing for seniors.
Middle Peninsula Planning District Council may also be involved. Joining with the council may allow for the project to qualify for federal grants. That could be used to help create jobs and improve infrastructure.

Plans for a proposed Pamunkey Indian Tribe owned casino have been announced. If approved it will be built in the eastern section of Virginia and 4,000 full time jobs would be created. It would cost an estimated $700 million.
There would be casino games. There will also be a hotel, spa, and entertainment.
Construction would create between 3,000 and 5,000 jobs.
Annual payroll would equal $200 million. Companies that supply support services and other indirect companies could have a $1 billion impact for the state.
The casino will not be located on the tribe's King William County reservation.
They are interested in a partnership with a community to build their project. The site for the proposed casino to be developed is still being determined. Property being considered must be able to accommodate a large number of visitors. As well as access to utilities like water and sewer. Until these things are settled, a timeline for construction can not be announced.
The community that is selected for the proposed casino would enter into an agreement that would allow for sharing the casino revenues. The state would also receive a portion.
An investment group is currently in negotiations with the tribe to help develop the project. Details on the investment company have not been released.
Financing for the project also needs to be secured.
The National Indian Gaming Commission would oversee the casino's gaming operations. One of the purposed for the commission is to ensure that the games are ran fairly. It also monitors the agreements made between the tribe and the casino management company.
Dependent on current state laws, the casino could be allowed to operate slot machines and table games. However, the choice of games must be approved by the commission and the negotiated on for the gaming compact.
