It started here in Wheeling, believe it or not, back in the 1940s. That’s when people started leaving the Friendly City for opportunity across the Ohio River. There were 60,659 residents in Wheeling in 1930, and little by a lot since, the city’s population has dipped below 27,000 for the first time in 150 years. And when that takes place, the tax base shrinks, changes take place, decay threatens safety, crime increases, and government kicks cans down the road over and over again. Thankfully, efforts have been made by both the private and public sectors over the past few decades to bridge the region’s Rust Belt era to a still undefined but developing resurrection.One significant advantage Wheeling will have is, by the end of 2025, the state will have spent more than $360 million on infrastructure makeovers to the bridges and ramps along Interstate 70, to the Wheeling Suspension Bridge, and on the current $32 million streetscape in the downtown.This retaining wall along 14th Street is what supports Lind Street in East Wheeling, and it appears to need attention from the City of Wheeling.“Everyone knows downtown Wheeling will never be the retail area it once was because that’s not what downtown are these days,” said Erikka Storch, a former state lawmaker who was the Chamber of Commerce president during the 2010s. “The interstate work was long overdue, and the project on the Suspension Bridge was on the schedule for eight years until it finally took place because of the tour bus incident.“Even though the streetscape was delayed a couple of times because of the city, it’s still going to make a very positive difference in our downtown, and that’s very exciting to me. I can’t wait to see it for myself and I’m sure a lot of other people feel the same way,” she said. “I just know I’m thankful for the vision of former mayor Andy McKenize. If he didn’t see what was possible, and then make the deal with the state, who knows where’d we be today.”Another advantage, ironically, will be delivered by destruction.Despite the Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing by the electric scooter company in December, the Bird vehicles have remained available in many areas of the city.The $7 million demolition of the OVMC campus officially started nine days ago with crews starting with the Northwood and Hillcrest buildings. The plan calls for both of the former nurse’s quarters to be taken down next, and then the South and East buildings and the Education and Administration structure will follow.The West Tower, home of the general hospital and its EMSTAR unit until the sudden closure in late September 2019, is last on general contractor F.R. Bienke’s razing list.“It’s going to be a gradual process because of how large the campus is, and because of the removal of the materials that have to be moved away,” explained Bob Herron, Wheeling’s city manager since 2001. “The asbestos removal has taken place, and now the company will go one building at a time. It’s going to take some time.“But after the demolition, WVU (Health System) will begin the construction of the regional cancer center, so that’s the good news,” he said. “We’re also demolishing the parking garage on Chapline (Street), so a lot is happening in that area right now.”The Christmas Store at the Teacher's Store in Center Market is conducting its final clearance sale. and will close for good in the near future.The view from this open lot in Center Wheeling offers a look at what's taken place thanks to the population decline in a once prominent neighborhood.The south market house at Centre Market is home to several eateries, including Coleman's Fish Market, Tito's on the Market, Michael's Beef House, and Valley Cheese.Vegetation has caused much of the tunnel's eastside facade to become stained and unattractive since its last cleaning in 2009.The recent frigid evenings have kept families indoors and playing board games such as this classic. The number of venues offering live music has declined, but there still are several offering local performers on Friday and Saturday evenings.When Wesbanco Bank constructed its headquarters in downtown Wheeling back during the late 1970s, it changed the city's skyline forever.

Treasurer Pack Announces Expanded Hope Scholarship Qualifying Expenses, Military Service Member Policy
Hope Scholarship Board Disqualifies School, Places Another on Probation CHARLESTON, W.Va. – State Treasurer Larry Pack, who serves as Chairman of the Hope Scholarship Board, announced the Board has authorized the expansion of various qualifying expenses, including the ability for families to purchase lifetime digital curriculum subscriptions, as well as a Quarterly Funding Policy, an updated Military Member Service Policy, and actions against schools involved with fraud. “It is vital that we continue to provide flexibility and additional options to parents so they can best meet the needs of their children,” Treasurer Pack said following last week’s Board meeting. “West Virginia has a proud history of military service and I am honored to help extend opportunities to families that have dedicated their lives defending our freedoms.” The Board also adopted a Quarterly Funding Policy in response to legislation signed into law modifying scholarship disbursements from biannual to quarterly. The new policy will help to streamline the funding process and ensure timely payments to participating families. To receive a quarterly funding distribution in August, students must have turned in all required documentation and be in Approved status by no later than August 1. Students not meeting that criteria will have to wait until the October quarter to receive funding. The Military Service Member Policy that was adopted in November 2024 was also updated to permit active duty military service members that are required to relocate with permanent military orders to remain eligible and participate in the Hope Scholarship Program. Additionally, the Board acted to permanently disqualify Tygart Valley Christian Academy from participation in the Hope Scholarship Program for financial misconduct. “We want to make clear that while there is very little fraud and misconduct in the Hope Scholarship Program, we want to take swift and decisive action when our investigations warrant it,” Treasurer Pack said. Furthermore, the Board placed Laurel Academy on probation due to violations of program rules. The school will be required to come into compliance with all program requirements during the probationary period. The Treasurer’s Office continues to gather evidence and additional information regarding these ongoing investigations. For more information on the Hope Scholarship, visit www.HopeScholarshipWV.gov.

Marshall County Special Response Team Executes Felony Arrest
Marshall County Sheriff Mike Dougherty announces that on Monday, June 29, 2026, the Marshall County Sheriff's Office Special Response Team (SRT) successfully executed a felony arrest warrant for Tristen E. Weyrick at his residence on Harts Run Road in Marshall County. Upon the team's arrival, Weyrick attempted to evade law enforcement by hiding underneath the residence. After a thorough search of the property, deputies located him beneath the house and took him into custody without incident. The arrest is the result of a joint investigation conducted by the Marshall County Sheriff's Office and the Pennsylvania State Police. The felony arrest warrant was issued after investigators determined that Weyrick had stolen an ATV. "This arrest is another example of the outstanding work being accomplished through strong partnerships between law enforcement agencies," said Sheriff Mike Dougherty. "Working closely with the Pennsylvania State Police and our Special Response Team continues to prove that cooperation and communication are effective tools in combating crime in Marshall County and ensuring those responsible are held accountable." The Marshall County Sheriff's Office remains committed to working alongside local, state, and federal law enforcement partners to keep our communities safe. Read the full article
