Washington Councilman Matt Staniszewski, who directs the public works department, said 50 percent of the cost will be paid by Washington & Jefferson College, and East Washington also will contribute.Another section of Wheeling and parts of College and Walnut streets will be paved next year as part of the overall project, along with numerous other neighborhood paving projects.
