WEIRTON — The Frontier Group of Companies continues its efforts to redevelop an area of former steel-making land in the city, and is seeking support from local, state and federal officials to help put some of the final pieces of the puzzle in place.
Company officials already have invested approximately $80 million into preparing more than 1,100 acres it purchased in the city in 2017 for future business use, and announced Wednesday it is hoping for a public investment of approximately $65 million to help fill in the gaps.
