VRSA longtime Members’ Supervisory Board member Clarke Wallcraft also retired from the Peppers Ferry Regional Wastewater Authority after more than 18 years. Wallcraft served on the VRSA Members’ Supervisory Board for more than 15 years, and was honored in October at a retirement celebration at Nesselrod on the New. The event was attended by Craig and Hensel.

“We are thankful for the time and dedication that Wallcraft gave to VRSA over his tenure on the board,” said VRSA Managing Director Marcus Hensel. “His leadership and guidance is a key reason VRSA is as financially strong as it is today.”

Wallcraft has retired to Florida with his family, while Craig continues to reside in Richmond.
