County Administrator Matt Walker announced his retirement last week, effective March 31, 2026, after more than 32 years of service in Virginia local government — 17 years and 14 of those as the county administrator.
Walker took over the helm in 2012 when longtime county administrator Charlie Culley left to take over the county administrator’s job in Caroline County. Prior to that, Walker had worked as Middlesex County planning director for three years.
Saluda District representative and Middlesex County Board of Supervisors (MCBS) chairman Don Harris said that Walker has guided Middlesex County through a period of growth, innovation, and fiscal stability.
