WHEELING – City officials continue picking up new tenants for the former Ohio Valley Medical Center campus. The latest agency to move in is Helping Heroes: a Center for Veterans Resources.
The Development Committee of Wheeling City Council met this past week to discuss a proposal from Helping Heroes, a community-based nonprofit organization. The group provides support services and resources to homeless and near homeless veterans, as well as other veterans in need from the Northern Panhandle in Ohio, Brooke, Hancock, Marshall and Wetzel counties.
