  With a $500,000.00 grant from the State of West Virginia to develop a Weirton Campus, the Ohio-based St. Joseph the Worker College has spent a total of  $492,000.00 on two properties in Weirton. February property transfer records filed in the Hancock County Clerk’s office show that the College paid $330,000.00 to purchase property previously owned by the Hancock County Board of Education and currently owned by Altair  Development, LLC . The Sec. of State records lists Michel Chek of Weirton as the organizer of Altair.  The deed lists the property as bordering on Elm Street and the Weirton Steel Sheet Mill, Elm Street and Virginia Ave and speculation has been that the property contains the former Weir High School.
