RICHMOND, Va. After a panel recommended the $600 million Urban ONE Casino + Resort project move forward in Richmond, Mayor Levar Stoney is set to formally introduce the proposal to City Council Monday night. Now, the process turns to public hearings and an eventual referendum in November, where city voters will have the final say on the projectâs fate.
Supporters of the plan say the project will bring generational investment in south Richmond, a community long in need of economic development. Opponents are skeptical that the project will live up to the projections and promises made by developers and officials.
