The Richmond City Council hopes that its second attempt to launch a casino will pass but some are still skeptical of the project.
Richmond City Council members seek to revive an old casino project that failed to gain the public’s support in 2021. The measure would see the people of the Virginian city vote on the matter once again.
The so-called One Casino + Resort is a project first introduced in 2021, two years after Virginia agreed to allow five cities facing economic challenges to open casinos. Since Virginia greenlit casinos, four cities, namely Bristol, Danville, Norfolk and Portsmouth opened casinos. Some people in Richmond hope that their city will secure the fifth slot.
