The Wheeling Gateway Project is progressing with the demolition of the Wheeling Inn now complete and debris removal expected by next Friday. The project’s next phase involves constructing the Wheeling Gateway Visitors and Heritage Center, featuring a heritage museum and a marquee restaurant. Final construction drawings are in development to determine the project's cost, with construction expected to take 1–1.5 years once started. Completion is estimated in 2–3 years, with efforts underway to expedite the timeline.
Wheeling Heritage has proposed plans for the center and is seeking grant funding to enhance the heritage experience. Key stakeholders, including Senators Joe Manchin and Shelley Moore Capito, former Governor Jim Justice, and local organizations, have played a vital role in advancing the project.
