The renderings are spectacular, but the question is, will it actually happen?

The HeadWaters Resort & Casino would be a $500 million project that could be a juggernaut for Norfolk and Hampton Roads.

The developers for Norfolk’s proposed casino have again submitted a preliminary site plan to the city of Norfolk.

The development comes after the city balked at the developers’ phased submittal approach for the project over the summer. The developers, the Pamunkey Indian Tribe and Tennessee billionaire Jon Yarbrough’s LLC, say the project will still be built in phases, but this new plan submitted Oct. 20 is for the overall layout for the project.
