  • Weirton Area Reuse Plan (WARP) (PDF)
    Executive Summary The Client Group, made up of Representatives of the Frontier Group of Companies, Inc. (FGC), the Business Development Corporation (BDC), the City of Weirton Administration (City), the Northern WV Brownfields Assistance Center, The Thrasher Group, Inc., and DJS Ventures, Inc., has developed this document for the redevelopment of the area previously used by Weirton Steel and some limited areas included within the Three Springs Industrial Park. This plan was developed using current economic and market analysis, along with an assessment of the existing infrastructure condition in mind. Working with the City Utility Boards and a few potential candidates that could move into the Weirton Metropolitan Area, the following approach was determined to make sense for all parties involved. The goal of the analysis was to determine the best way to help continue and develop the five market clusters that the region has been successful with growing the local economy in recent years: • Value-added Metals • Petro-Chemical • Energy • Transportation Economy • Healthcare While the analysis was proceeding, the FGC continued working on cleaning up the buildings previously used by Weirton Steel and ArcelorMittal, including the demolition of various structures and utilities. This work is nearing the end, except for the buried foundations that will be reviewed next. The Client Group has reviewed various concepts and has chosen to move ahead with the redevelopment concepts proposed in the attached report. It has been acknowledged by all parties that in order for this project to be successful, the partnership formed through this process needs to continue. Recently, this partnership has met with several federal and state officials and has been identified as a true Public Private Partnership.

A-1 i Executive Summary Between Follansbee, West Virginia and East Liverpool, Ohio—a distance of about 30 river miles--there are six communities and one large industry that use the Ohio River as a source of drinking water. In 2012, representatives from several of these communities met to consider what they could do collectively to lessen impacts on the river’s water quality from other uses the river provides: industrial transport, industrial cooling, discharge of wastewater, recreation, etc. Over the course of six meetings, a joint source water protection plan was developed and ultimately agreed to by three of the six public water systems: the City of Toronto, the City of Steubenville and Buckeye Water District, which serves the Village of Wellsville. The initial step was to identify the activities occurring within the vicinity of these public water systems that could have the greatest potential impact on water quality, due to the amounts of chemicals involved and/or direct discharge to the Ohio River. These included river traffic, steel mills, power plants, chemical manufacturers and petroleum tank farms within this area.
