What makes the Norfolk Resort and Casino different from other casinos is our firm and unwavering commitment to community. We look forward to being your neighbor on the waterfront and hope to build a reputation as a compassionate corporate citizen of the City of Norfolk.
Unlike international corporate casino operators, the Norfolk Resort and Casino operators are members of the community and plan to reinvest a great deal of time, energy and financial resources back into Norfolk, the Hampton Roads Region and the Commonwealth of Virginia as a whole. To this end, you can count on the Pamunkey Indian Tribe to be a true partner with the City to make this a project of which we can all be proud. The Pamunkey Indian Tribe know what it is like to need better access to essential services and resources and is excited to do their part to give back to the Norfolk community.
The Tribe doesn’t plan on waiting for the resort and casino to open before getting involved in the community. The Tribe is currently working on some exciting plans to grow its roots in the Norfolk community. In addition to hands-on partnerships with community organizations and philanthropic causes throughout the City, they are going to be contributing to Norfolk’s flood resiliency plan along the Elizabeth River, making them the first private developer in the entire City to provide critical funding for this important and time-sensitive undertaking that will help protect Norfolk from sea level rise for generations to come. With a reservation surrounded by the Pamunkey River and much of its land being wetland, the Tribe is particularly sensitive to flooding and pleased to be part of helping the City address this issue.
I'm Ready To Vote YES!This is our opportunity to create jobs, generate millions of dollars for schools and make our city the leading tourist destination in Virginia. Join our cause, and help bring this once-in-a-lifetime project in Norfolk.
"I have lived in Norfolk over 25 years and I desperately want MY city of Norfolk to get this revenue in perpetuity, to mitigate flooding and help rebuild and refurbish our schools. That's why I'm all in!"
"The reparative element is one of the most important aspects of this discussion for me. Creating opportunity for our indigenous Americans that also boosts our Norfolk economy and tourism is a win win situation."
"This project will help provide much-needed revenue for our schools and preventing it from going forward would be a detriment to our students' futures."
"As a life-long resident, veteran and father, I know that it is time for our city to get a much needed boost. This project will create new jobs in all sectors that will help our entire city rise up economically. Jobs that will allow our kids to want to stay in Norfolk, which is important to me. This project is coming at the perfect time and that is why I am all in!"
"I support this resort casino because it will bring new jobs to our shared community and revitalize a part of our city that has been vacant for decades. This development will elevate Norfolk with a world class development we can all be proud of."
"I support the Norfolk casino project because it will bring thousands of jobs to our community and put our city on the map. A fun and creative project like this can transform our city into a destination that people all over the country will want to visit."
