Connecting Communities, One Post at a Time
Our Vision
In the heart of East Wheeling, where history meets possibility, we're creating physical connections through our Neighborhood Posts initiative. These thoughtfully designed information hubs will stand as beacons throughout our residential areas, fostering community spirit and amplifying local voices.
What Are Neighborhood Posts?
Neighborhood Posts are community-owned information centers strategically placed throughout East Wheeling's residential areas. Each weather-resistant post features:
-
Community event announcements
-
Local business promotions
-
Neighborhood news and updates
-
Historical information and storytelling
-
Maps and wayfinding elements
-
Space for resident-contributed content
Why East Wheeling Needs This

-

-
Create accessible platforms for community voices
-
Establish visual cohesion throughout East Wheeling
-
Welcome visitors and new residents with helpful information
-
Reduce digital dependency with physical information sharing
Community-Led Design
The East Wheeling Cooperative is facilitating a transparent, community-driven design process:
