City launches Resort Casino community engagement efforts

The City of Richmond has launched a digital workshop for community engagement accessible on the Department of Economic Development’s Resort Casino webpage. To coincide with the digital workshop, the city will also be having two virtual community meetings – today, March 9 at 6:00pm and tomorrow, March 10 at 12:00pm.

Digital Workshop

The digital workshop is a set of three interactive documents that highlight benefits, negative impact mitigation, and revenue associated with a Resort Casino. Community members are encouraged to leave their comments, suggestions, and concerns where prompted on each document.

The documents are accessible on the Resort Casino webpage.  Links to each document are also available under “Digital Engagement”.

Virtual Community Meetings

Held via MS Teams, community members will learn about 1) the community engagement process and 2) the community benefits a resort casino may provide, how to mitigate potential negative impacts from a resort casino, and how communities have used resort casino revenue.
