Caesars to receive public input on casino design at meeting Monday in Danville
Residents will be able to give their opinions on what should go into the design of the Caesars Virginia casino project Monday.
Caesars Virginia will hold a public input meeting at 5:30 p.m. at the former Dan River Inc. Welfare Building at 917 W. Main St.
“We anticipate discussing design concepts, materials preferences, color palettes, and similar topics,” said Robert Livingston, senior vice president of development for Caesars Entertainment.
However, full renderings will not be shared at the meeting, he said.
Caesars is holding the meeting as part of its agreement with the city of Danville.
“Caesars committed to receive public input on the design of the project,” Livingston said. “On top of that, engaging with the communities where we operate is a key part of who we are as a company.”
The resurgence of COVID-19 across the nation has not hindered the company’s project in Danville, he said.
“At this point, the schedule has not been affected,” Livingston said.
Construction on the project is expected to begin the end of this year or early next year.
The Caesars Virginia casino at the former Dan River Inc. site in Schoolfield is expected to be complete in the second or third quarter of 2023 and open in the third or fourth quarter of that year.
