The proposed riverfront resort and casino will transform Norfolk into a premiere tourist destination in the mid-Atlantic. The resort and casino will be located on 13.4 acres of land east of Harbor Park along the banks of the Elizabeth River and operated by the Pamunkey Indians who are native Virginians. Tourists will be able to quickly and easily access the resort and casino off interstate-264. The tourist destination is estimated to generate 6.2 million annual visits which will have a substantial economic impact on the City of Norfolk.
The resort and casino will not only be an exciting and entertaining destination, but it will provide much needed economic benefits for Norfolk. Local taxes on the casino will assist Norfolk in supporting key priorities determined by the City and its residents, such as education, first responders, street repair and flood mitigation. And a significant portion of the state taxes from the casino will go to school construction. The Pamunkey Indian Tribe also plans to contribute to Norfolk’s flood resiliency plan along the Elizabeth River, making the Tribe the first developer to do so.
The Norfolk Resort and Casino will be a premier destination that will attract tourists from all over the country, provide thousands of jobs, millions of dollars in local revenue and world-class entertainment.
