Leadership promotion reflects expanding development initiatives and new career advancement opportunities across the employee-owned organization
MASSANUTTEN, Va., Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Peak Construction Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Resorts Companies, Inc., today announced the promotion of Mark Wagner to President, reflecting the continued growth of the employee-owned organization and the new leadership opportunities emerging as it expands its hospitality and residential development portfolio at Massanutten Mountain.
Wagner, who previously served as Vice President of Development for The Resorts Companies and Vice President of Peak Construction, brings nearly 40 years of construction industry experience to his new role. His appointment comes as The Resorts Companies advances several major initiatives, including BluestonePeak, a new 55+ active adult residential community, the anticipated development of Massanutten Station and significant enhancements to Massanutten Resort.
For more than 40 years, Peak Construction has served as the primary builder and construction management company for Massanutten Resort, helping shape the destination's evolution. Current projects include the new ShenandoaH2O hotel, the Indoor WaterPark expansion, BluestonePeak, and two new sales centers.
As The Resorts Companies continues to grow and diversify, its expanding portfolio is creating new opportunities for career advancement and leadership development. Wagner's promotion reflects the organization's commitment to cultivating internal talent while supporting its continued expansion. This growth is also driving recruitment efforts, with the company currently seeking to fill two Project Manager positions to support its pipeline of development and construction projects.
"Mark has played an integral role in advancing our most significant construction initiatives, and his experience, leadership, and deep understanding of the Shenandoah Valley make him well-suited to lead Peak Construction into its next chapter," said Steve Krohn, Vice Chairman of The Resorts Companies. "As we continue to expand our portfolio and invest in new developments, we're equally committed to creating opportunities for our employees to grow and take on greater leadership responsibilities."
As President, Wagner will oversee Peak Construction's construction operations, including all large-scale improvements to existing resort facilities and the development of new hospitality and residential properties. His responsibilities include project planning, budgeting, contract management, and construction oversight, working closely with resort operations, architects, engineers, and local officials.
A lifelong Shenandoah Valley resident, Wagner was raised in Waynesboro, Virginia, where he continues to reside. He earned a bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering from Virginia Tech and has nearly four decades of experience spanning heavy civil and sitework construction, general contracting, bridge construction and project management. He previously owned a sitework construction company and served as Chairman of the Economic Development Authority in Waynesboro.
"Having grown up in the Shenandoah Valley, I've always felt a strong connection to this region and the opportunities it offers," said Wagner. "It's been rewarding to work alongside such a talented team and contribute to the continued development of Massanutten Resort. As Peak Construction takes on a diverse portfolio of projects, I look forward to building on our momentum, supporting our team's growth and helping bring the company's vision for the future to life."
Wagner will continue working closely with Krohn, who recently transitioned to Vice Chairman of The Resorts Companies, as the organization advances its long-term development priorities.
