The Norfolk Architectural Review Board is scheduled to review the Pamunkey Indian Tribe’s proposed HeadWaters Resort and Casino plans in early January, according to reports. The meeting could jumpstart long-awaited construction of the planned casino.
Voters in Norfolk approved a casino referendum in November of 2020, yet construction has yet to begin more than three years later. Three other Virginia cities (Bristol, Danville, and Portsmouth) that approved referendums already have operational casinos.
There’s optimism among Norfolk casino stakeholders that 2024 will finally bring significant progress toward the construction of a casino. Following the meeting of the Norfolk Architecture Review Board, the project still needs the go-ahead from the city planning commission and the Norfolk City Council.
