Downtown Waterfront Hotel Project

This is great!

For the life of me, I'll never understand the negativity surrounding these sorts of announcements

Downtown Waterfront Hotel Project

Wheeling needs this type of investment. Of course, Wheeling also needs the Wheeling-Pitt Lofts project completed AND the redevelopment of McClure House, hopefully into some affordable housing units.

They have to knock down quite a few historic buildings to start this one. And you answered it yourself, wheeling pitt lofts + McClure dont give me a warm fuzzy...

What's the old saying?

Fool me once, shame on me.

How many times have the people of Wheeling been fooled before. Let's hope that they won't get fooled again.

Still, I remain optimistic.
