This November, Richmond voters have the chance to take part in an election that will shift the tide for the city we love, as The Richmond Grand Resort and Casino returns to the ballot. The entertainment and gaming venue will consist of a luxury hotel, a live entertainment venue and 55 acres of green space. Developers say it could bring 1,300 jobs to the area.

In a recent YouTube post, Bill McGree offered an early look at the grounds.

“I decided to visit again the site of the Richmond Grand Resort and Casino. You exit off of I95 at Bells Rd and keep straight across Commerce at the light.” McGree wrote below this video post. “It will be located where a Phillip Morris – Altria Office park currently sits. I like the location and I’m excited about the variety of job opportunities it will bring to Richmond and especially Southside Richmond. I support this venture 100%. This video is unsolicited, unofficial and I have not been compensated for making it by anyone.”

Check out his “unofficial tour” clip below.

Back in August, Richmonders got their first look at new plans for the proposed resort, casino and entertainment complex that will be on the ballot this fall.

“Richmonders told us they want great jobs, community investment, green space and top-tier entertainment. With Richmond Grand, we’ve delivered,” said Alfred Liggins, III, CEO of Urban One, Inc. “Richmond Grand will offer something for everyone—incredible shows, exciting gaming and entertainment, outdoor recreation, luxurious spas and pools, and a huge addition of jobs and tax revenue for the city. This is a plan by Richmond, for Richmond, and when we vote yes, all of Richmond wins.”
