WHEELING, W.Va. — The first new building to be constructed in downtown Wheeling in decades has officially opened.
The Health Plan hosted a ribbing cutting ceremony Thursday to celebrate the completion of the 53,000 square foot, four- story facility.
The project brings the Health Plan’s corporate headquarters back to where it started in West Virginia from Ohio.
Nearly 400 full-time employees will work at the building.
According to The Intelligencer, each floor features restrooms and a refreshment area. Normal business hours will be from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday-Friday. Some employees could begin working as early as 6 a.m.
Governor Jim Justice joined Wheeling Mayor Glenn Elliott, former mayors Nick Sparachane and Andy McKenzie and The Health Plan CEO Jim Pennington to cut the ribbon.
