Completion of the Caesars Virginia casino project at the former Dan River Inc. site in Schoolfield will be delayed, a spokesperson for Caesars Entertainment told Danville City Council during its meeting Tuesday night.
Officials initially announced construction would be complete in the second or third quarter of 2023, with the casino opening in the third or fourth quarter. But the completion date has been pushed back to 2024, said Caesars Entertainment spokesperson Robert Livingston.
“We have seen supply chain issues and other market forces that continue to wreak havoc,” Livingston said, adding that labor shortages throughout the construction industry are slowing down building everywhere.
