After Norfolk officials tabled a plan for a temporary casino inside Harbor Park stadium in July, a new plan is moving forward that would place the temporary casino in the stadium’s parking lot between the ballpark and the Amtrak station.
The 35-foot tall, one-story casino building would be built on the same property where the permanent Headwaters Resort & Casino is planned. The 45,000 square-foot temporary casino is slated to have a restaurant, a bar and hundreds of gaming machines. It would replace more than 300 parking spaces for the stadium and the train station.
Once the company breaks ground on the site, construction is expected to take about six months, according to Headwaters spokesman Jay Smith.
