Wheeling budget up for a vote Monday

The Wheeling Village Board meets Monday night to approve a municipal budget for the 2025 fiscal year and to debate other business.

The estimated $116.5 million spending plan includes cash for an already underway flood-prevention project in the South Dunhurst neighborhood, erosion prevention in Buffalo Creek, staff salaries, assorted purchases and other expenditures.

The estimated $116.5 million spending plan is about 5% greater than the $110.5 million budget for the current fiscal year, which ends Dec. 31.

To pay for these and other projects, Wheeling officials expect to collect about $113.7 million in revenue in the next fiscal year.

The board meeting is set for 6:30 p.m. at village hall, 2 Community Blvd.

The session is open to the public and also can be viewed live online at youtube.com/@wheelingiltv.
