“It has been a privilege to work with [Pamunkey Indian Tribe] Chief Gray, Mayor Alexander, and the city of Norfolk to develop and bring forward our vision for a world-class casino resort here on the Norfolk waterfront,” said Keith Smith, CEO of Boyd Gaming.
The project was approved by Norfolk voters in 2020, paving the way for the casino’s construction.
Developers broke ground on the project in October 2024, and it’s expected to be completed in 2027.
