Potential new casino in Norfolk highlights benefits for numerous parties

New renderings presented to Norfolk city leaders Monday show what the Pamunkey Indian Tribe’s Casino in Norfolk could look like.

“We’ve had a good working relationship with them for three or four years now,” Norfolk Tides General Manager Joe Gregory said about the casino.

The 90,000 square-foot, $500 million resort and casino would be built right next to Harbor Park, the home of the Norfolk Tides.

Gregory believes there will be, in his words, some growing pains, but is in support of the casino.

“Parking and traffic are already tight around here on game days, so during that construction phase there’s going to be some hurdles to get over,” said Gregory. “But once we get through that construction phase I’m hoping it’ll be a net win for everybody.”
