Plans to open first Pamunkey Indian Tribe casino in Virginia
The first Pamunkey Tribe casino, which would feature a performance venue, spa, and hotel, has already been approved by the tribe's council as part of a $700 million plan, and currently, a search for land in eastern Virginia to build the resort on has started, according to the Daily Press.
The Pamunkey Tribe was recognized by the federal government in 2015 and was also granted the ability to pursue a gambling development, although the state currently has no casinos.
Chief Robert Gray says the casino would not be built on their reservation in King William County. So, land will have to be approved as former tribal territory by the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs.
There is no firm timetable for a deal to be completed. If approved, the tribe says the casino could create 4,000 full-time jobs in eastern Virginia.
