On this past Tuesday, October 12, 2021, the Richmond VA Branch NAACP voted unanimously to endorse the One Casino Project. … The project will create 3,000 construction jobs and 1,500 permanent jobs with a focus on minority and local hiring: ONE will set a goal of having Richmond residents comprise at least 60% of its workforce AND ONE will have a workforce diversity goal of 50% for the construction and operation. That means that the people building and running ONE will be representative of the diversity that makes Richmond unique.
