PSA administrator removal shocks Southwest Virginia
The Tazewell County Board of Supervisors voted 4-1 to separate the PSA administrator role from the county administrator position, citing cost savings yet warning of added county expenses. Supporters say Spencer’s leadership yielded $85 million in grants and loans for 50 water and sewer projects, expanding customers from 2,000 water and 1,600 sewer to 6,079 water and 2,194 sewer connections over 19 years. Critics argue the move undermines proven performance and questions the rationale behind the change.
