Not only will the Norfolk Resort and Casino be an entertaining and exciting destination, it will also have a significant economic impact on the City of Norfolk and the Commonwealth of Virginia as a whole. It is estimated that each year, the resort and casino will provide the City with $26.2-$30.8 million in tax revenue. This new, direct local revenue stream will provide much-needed funding for public schools, public transportation, important infrastructure projects, flood resiliency efforts and much more. Beyond just the City of Norfolk, the resort and casino will create an annual economic impact of $850 million to the Commonwealth of Virginia! Much of this impact will greatly help surrounding businesses like restaurants, hotels and small locally-owned businesses.
Even if you aren’t a gambler, supporting the Norfolk Resort and Casino’s positive economic impact on both the City of Norfolk and the Hampton Roads Region is something everyone can back. Voting “Yes” in November for tens of millions of dollars in local revenue should make everyone say, “I’m all in!”
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."
