Work crews have begun site work on the $300 million Rivers Casino Portsmouth at Hampton Roads, Virginia. It is being developed by Rush Street Gaming. The gaming company is still awaiting the approval of the license by the Virginia Lottery board.
Justin Ballard of S.B. Ballard Construction Co., told 13 News Now:
“Over the next couple of weeks, you’ll start seeing some major landscape changes, all the trees and shrubbery on site will all be gone.”
The casino, along with several others, weas overwhelmingly authorized by a referendum last November. When it opens it will employ about 1,300 people on a full-time basis.
