The Norfolk Resort and Casino will be a premier tourism destination for people from all over the Mid-Atlantic and beyond to visit. It is estimated that 6.2 million people will visit each year! Yes, you read that right. The Norfolk Resort and Casino is expected to generate 6.2 MILLION visits annually. This infusion of tourists from all over the country will have a tremendous impact on businesses all over the Hampton Roads Region. Of those 6.2 million visitors, nearly a million of them are expected to be coming from out of state.
Not only are these visitors great for generating local tax revenue, but they will also bring more sales revenue to surrounding restaurants, hotels and locally-owned small businesses. While many of our visitors will stay at the resort, there will be plenty who want to see what else Norfolk has to offer and will choose to book rooms at other hotels and explore other dining and entertainment options. Making Norfolk the premier destination in all of Hampton Roads will be a boon for the local economy and help elevate the City’s tourism reputation to its proper location at the top of the list!
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."
