The Pamunkey Indian Tribe tapped Newport News-based W.M. Jordan Co. and Boston-based Suffolk as the construction management team to build the $500 million HeadWaters Resort & Casino planned near Harbor Park along the Elizabeth River in Norfolk.
The tribe chose the firms for committing to using local subcontractors and suppliers and having a consistent record of hiring minorities in all phases of construction, according to a Sept. 10 announcement.
The team combines W.M. Jordan’s experience developing the local workforce through a strong supplier diversity program and subcontractor training with Suffolk’s experience in eight casino projects.
