NORFOLK, Va. - It's another step forward for a possible casino in Norfolk.
In a meeting Tuesday night, Norfolk City Council took a vote and agreed to support a proposed law that would allow the Pamunkey Indian Tribe to develop a proposed casino near Harbor Park under federal authority.
The law is currently moving through the Virginia General Assembly and would allow for casinos in Norfolk, Portsmouth, Richmond, Danville and Bristol.
