A $389 million hotel and gaming resort is planned for the town of Dumfries, according to town documents outlining the proposal set to be discussed Tuesday night.
The facility is being pitched by Colonial Downs, which owns a horse racing track in New Kent, Virginia and Rosie’s Gaming Emporium, which opened in January in Dumfries.
The proposal calls for building a 79-acre public park, 50,000 square feet of gaming space for slot-like machines, 200 hotel rooms and 1500-seat theater on the current plot of the land which houses the Potomac Landfill of I-95 and Virginia Route 234.
Slated to open in January 2023, The Rose, could employ hundreds and bring entertainment and dining options as well to the town.
