WHEELING — The three-year long construction project happening at the City-County Building now has a projected completion date of Jan. 16.

The relocation of the Ohio County Health Department on the first floor is the last one to be made as part of the project, according to Melissa Marco, project director for Ohio County. The office is scheduled to move in the coming week to its swing space in the former Wheeling Police Department headquarters.

“That’s the last move, and everything should be completed by Jan. 16. That’s four months ahead of schedule,” Marco said with a smile. “It’s all coming together. We’re about 85% complete.”

The project nevertheless has had its challenges in delays. Many of them were the result of supply chain issues, and getting needed items to the construction site.
