The NLC is a local government organization representing the interests of some 19,000 cities and towns across the United States.

“As a member of this Committee, I will have direct access to senior policy makers in Washington, D.C., and will have the opportunity to influence policies, such as those pertaining to stormwater regulations, which affect the citizens of Lynchburg,” Perrow said in a written statement.
Perrow, Ward IV representative on council, added his professional background as an engineer made him well suited to weigh in on these technical issues. He currently is serving on the Virginia Municipal League’s Environmental Quality Policy Committee as well.
