Biography
For much of his career, Perkins worked as a forester for the Westvaco Corporation.
Service on the Board
As a Supervisor, Perkins was a fiscal conservative who sought to preserve the County's rural nature. He was a supporter of a plan to allow rural landowners to sell their development rights as a way of combating rural development[1]
In the late 1990's, he stopped the development of a big box store north of I-64 between Fifth and Avon street out of a love of the trees on the site. However, the Board approved the Fifth and Avon Center on March 12, 2008.
