WHEELING — A portion of the vacant lot left behind as a result of the removal of the Center Wheeling Parking Garage is expected to be used for parking once again– at least temporarily.

During Tuesday night’s meeting of Wheeling City Council, City Manager Robert Herron reported that a need still exists in the Centre Market area for additional parking, particularly long-term parking for employees.

“At the last council meeting, we talked about the potential for development of the site where the former Center Wheeling parking structure was located,” Herron said. “We’re going to move forward with that per the Development Committee’s direction.”

However, talk about redevelopment of the site also prompted the discussion about the immediate need for additional parking in that area, Herron said.
