WEIRTON Some new life is on its way for a vacant building in the Marland Heights section of the city.
The Weirton Zoning Board of Appeals Tuesday granted two requests from Kensington Investment, allowing a conditional use permit and a setback variance for property at 3901 Brightway.
The property previously was home to the Marland Heights Pharmacy.
Jessie Kreig of Kensington Investment explained he had requested the 0-foot setback in order to install at 20-foot-long and 3.4-foot-wide metal awning, which would hang over an existing right-of-way.
“There was an awning on the building,” Kreig said. “It was removed.”

WEIRTON Speeding issues and residential parking permits were the focus before the city’s Traffic Commission Thursday.
Commissioners continued a discussion, tabled from their March meeting, concerning speeding and public safety concerns along a portion of Marland Heights Road.
The commission was asked to look into the issue at the request of a resident at 325 Marland Heights Road.
Police Chief Charlie Kush said he had reviewed records and found reports of two incidents in recent years where a vehicle went into the property in question.
“Snow was part of one and the other was a DUI,” Kush said.
