WHEELING Following the recent announcement of a planned apartment complex in the downtown Wheeling-Pitt building, Wheeling City Council is set to start on its role in moving the project forward.
The council will hold its second regular meeting of the new year tonight beginning at 5:30 p.m. Among the new business on the agenda is a resolution authorizing City Manager Robert Herron to negotiate and enter into a memorandum of understanding with Historic Wheeling-Pitt Lofts LLC.
