It seemed like it would never happen, but the ground will soon break for a casino in Norfolk.
A ceremony is set for Wednesday in the parking lot between Norfolk’s Amtrak station and Harbor Park.
News 3 has been following developments on the project for years. Back in 2020, Norfolk voters approved allowing a casino to be built. That referendum includes a 2025 deadline to have gaming on-site.
Following a series of delays, a development agreement was proposed to meet the deadline. It entails putting in a temporary casino that can be operated while the permanent facility is under construction.
