Imagine working in the peaceful rolling hills of Ohio County with great benefits and a friendly working environment only a 15-20 minute drive from Wheeling.
Weelunk hears from a lot of “ex-pats” who follow our stories. Some express an interest in moving back, but “no job opportunities” is always the deciding factor in staying put.
