Place your bets. Richmond Mayor Levar Stoney’s office confirmed Friday that the six casino proposals made public this week all submitted proposals that are eligible for consideration by Richmond City Council and voters.
The city also revealed the proposed locations for all six plans.
Bally’s Corp. and Golden Nugget Hotels & Casinos are interested in building a casino on property off Chippenham and Powhite parkways south of the James River and near the western edge of the city limits. In a statement, a Bally’s spokesperson said, “Bally’s is flattered that another bidder appreciates the location that we have the exclusive right to purchase. Though Parkway Crossing is Bally’s preferred site, we have multiple options for other sites, and notably maintain flexibility with the exclusive right to purchase a second site located in Richmond pursuant to the same executed letter of intent. As such, we are confident that we will have an attractive site upon which to build the high-quality product for which Bally’s is known for the benefit of the greater Richmond community.”
