HeadWaters Resort & Casino, the Pamunkey Indian Tribe’s $500 million gaming project planned for Norfolk, announced Wednesday it is abandoning its temporary casino plans at Harbor Park, instead locating the facility on the same property as the permanent casino.
“Issues were recently raised about the address of the proposed initial gaming facility,” the tribe said in an announcement Wednesday, noting an error in paperwork that led Norfolk officials to table a vote on the casino this week. “While the tribe does not believe the ballpark address to be an issue since it was approved by the city, any delay due to a potential challenge is unacceptable.” The tribe also added, “Contrary to media reports, the address of the stadium was never changed.”
