SperlingViews - Weirton, West_virginia

O.k., Weirton has some problems but nothing that wouldn't be easily solved by bringing in a few good major employers! We have next to no crime, super low cost of living (nearly 20% LOWER than the rest of the country per Sperlings) and since we are less than 40 miles from Pittsburgh, PA, we can take advantage of all of their cultural and entertainment in less than an hour. If you are reading this as an executive looking for a place to locate a manufacturing facility or other branch of your business, please seriously consider Weirton, West Virginia. We are within 20 minutes of the Pittsburgh International airport and have access to several major intersates within 20 minutes as well. The people of our area are hardworking, loyal and eager to find solid employment that will allow them to stay here. We've lost brothers, sisters, cousins and former classmates to the southern regions as they have been forced to leave for employment. Notice I said "forced." A poll of former residents would probably reveal that a full 80% of them would have stayed if they could have found a job that would allow them to support their families. And no one is expecting to make hundreds of thousands of dollars - just a decent wage to afford a roof over our head, food on the table and some fun in our off hours. Bring us jobs - we'll do the rest to make this the vibrant community it once was![read more...]

It seems like a really nice place to live![read more...]
