The construction team that built Rivers Casino Portsmouth has been chosen to erect Norfolk’s long-planned casino project.
A joint venture between Virginia Beach-based S.B. Ballard Construction Co. and Mississippi’s Yates Construction has been chosen to build the $750 million Norfolk facility, casino developer Boyd Gaming announced Tuesday.
“These two outstanding companies are the ideal team to lead construction of our resort on the Norfolk waterfront,” said Uri Clinton, executive vice president and general counsel for Boyd Gaming, in the announcement.
Clinton said S.B. Ballard would bring extensive experience with local projects and a team of subcontractors to the project, while Yates added a large resume of casino development projects.
