The $1.4 billion casino and resort that Petersburg voters overwhelmingly approved in November is one step closer to becoming a reality.
During a scheduled meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 25, the Petersburg City Council gave its final, unanimous approval of the zoning permits for the Live! Casino Resort that nearly 82% of voters asked for amid the 2024 General Election.
“Live! Casino Resort, anchored by Live! Casino & Hotel Virginia, will be a catalyst for change and significant urban development, transforming the region through the creation of a thriving entertainment and hospitality destination,” said developer Cordish Companies in a press release. “The project will set a new standard for gaming, hotels and entertainment in the Commonwealth, and serve as a new world-class attraction for Petersburg and the greater Central Virginia region.”
