I think that most of it should be level, especially closer to the river and the state should help in that- make it prime land for development. Some aspect should stay for repurposing and even historical purposes, if it makes sense.

That area will sit empty forever. And I tend to agree that the park idea wouldn't work in Weirton. Maybe if it was done REALLY well as a museum for the whole country's steel production, but even then I doubt it. As for redevelopment, that land will forever sit empty. People in Steubenville and Weirton already have a phobia of going to or living in "downtown" (basically the poorer non-suburban areas along the river) so I doubt they'll wanna move into a redeveloped steel yard.
