»Schaufel The Dirt: 'Petersburg live! The Casino resort is expected to start building next month

Petersburg, Va. (WwBt) – anticipation for the Petersburg live! The Casino resort continues to grow because the zoning of the city of Green Lights allows the construction of the 1.4 billion dollar project.

“The zoning permit this week was really an important step to say that all this work that led to this time brought us into a position in which we can actually shovel the dirt,” said Rob Norton, President of the Cordish Gaming Group.

He said that now that you have the permits, you would like to break the ground on the almost 100 hectare property in March.

“It was an enormously worthwhile and challenging but exciting three or four years to come here,” he said.

As soon as the floor is broken, you build a temporary casino facility and possibly create 400 to 500 jobs and income, while the official casino and the resort are built. It is expected that it is in operation and operated on this year.

“The temporary casino will have a good selection of slots and tables, and there will be some food and drinks, but it will be something that will operate somewhere in the neighborhood of about two years,” he said.

The official Casino resort should be completed in 2027 and the temporary is torn down. It will probably generate 2.8 billion US dollars for the region and create 7,500 construction work and permanent jobs in the first 10 years.
