WEIRTON Weirton Council has opted not to take action to change the zoning designation of a piece of property in the city’s downtown, following a recommendation from members of the city’s Planning Commission.
Meanwhile, officials received an offer for a portion of the land to potentially become the future home of the city’s police department.
During its meeting Monday, council chose not to take any action on an ordinance regarding the current land use of the former Jimmy Carey Stadium property. The site currently is zoned M-2, which includes uses in heavy industrial, light industrial and commercial.

“We greatly appreciate this meeting and we hope to continue meeting in good faith,” Rickey Thompson, who had been among those organizing plans for regular meetings between the groups last year.
