The Pamunkey Indian Tribe announced today plans to build a casino resort on 36 acres of land near Ingram and Commerce Avenue. The tribe is in the process of securing all the land necessary. If everything goes according to plan the resort will be the home to a 275-room hotel, 1,000 space parking lot, restaurants and of course gambling. The estimated cost of the project is $350 million.

This announcement follows a similar announcement made on Monday. Monday the tribe signed an agreement with Norfolk on a proposed $700 million casino along the Elizabeth River.

They’ve launched a Facebook page All in for Richmond Casino, that currently only has a rendering of the casino but promises updates.
