Crew with Raze International Inc. of Shadyside demolish and remove old dilapidated houses located along 15th Street across from the J.B. Chambers Sports Complex in February as part of a demolition contract with the City of Wheeling.
WHEELING A public hearing is scheduled for the beginning of Tuesday’s meeting of Wheeling City Council before it votes on a proposed ordinance initiating historic review protocols for city demolition permits.
Members of the Historic Landmarks Commission, the city’s legal department and the Development Committee of Council recently moved forward with legislation for the proposed demolition review process, which has been in the works for several years. The ordinance’s first reading took place two weeks ago upon recommendation by the Development Committee. It is expected to be brought to the floor for a final vote during Tuesday afternoon’s regular city council meeting.
