Plans for the Norfolk casino were once again pulled by the planners before a public review Monday.

It’s the second time this month HeadWaters Resort and Casino applicants have pulled the plans before a meeting of the Architectural Review Board. The casino project was listed on the ARB’s Monday agenda but was struck and listed as “continued by applicant” on Sunday.

Spokesperson for HeadWaters, Jay Smith, said the plans were pulled so architecture and engineering teams could “produce the additional design work necessary to address the direction provided by City Council.”

“Until that work is completed, we have asked for a continuance before the ARB,” Smith wrote in an email response to questions about the project. “As soon as we are confident that the plans meet the needs of the City and Tribe, we will ask to be put on the ARB agenda.”
