About the Government


Wheeling's Municipal government is in the Council-Manager form. A professional Village Manager directs day-to-day operations, and policy-making is the task of an elected Village President and Board of Trustees. Residents are welcome to attend and encouraged to take an active role in community affairs. Regular Board meetings are held on the first and third Monday of the month; special meetings are scheduled as needed.
