Saw a publication today telling the rest of the country what our residents and former residents already know about Wheeling, WV (and the surrounding Ohio Valley): Wheeling is one of the safest small cities in the United States.
Farmers Insurance recently released their Most Secure U.S. Places to Live list. Wheeling, WV – The Friendly City – ranks 11th among small towns (metro areas under 150,000 residents) in their most recent list. The study looks at factors such as crime statistics, extreme weather / natural disasters, housing & job loss figures, air quality, and life expectancy.
So, no surprise to see Wheeling, but it’s still good to see the national recognition.
On a separate note, sorry for the long delay in posts – I doubt we’ll ever get to multi-day postings, but we should be able to get some news out more regularly – at least monthly if not biweekly.
Happy New Year!

It’s a joint effort between CONSOL Energy and Synthesis Energy Systems (SES). It’s expected to mean 300-500 construction jobs for Ohio Valley residents. After the ctl plant is built, it should mean 60 full time hires for its operation. Here’s an excerpt from the official announcement:
