Southampton County Board of Supervisors
Two independents - Robert M. ``Bob'' Felts Jr. and Dennis A.
Maddrey - hope to represent the Berlin-Ivor district on the
Southampton County Board of Supervisors, the seat being vacated by the
current board chairman, who is retiring.
Felts, 48, is president of R.M. Felts Packing Co. in Ivor. A
graduate of Wingate College, he has completed the Virginia Rural
Leadership Development program and the Virginia Institute of Political
Leadership.
Maddrey, 53, is a rural mail carrier. A graduate of the College of
William and Mary, he is a former teacher and coach. He is a member of
the Southampton Planning Commission and president of the Virginia
Rural Letter Carriers' Association.
Maddrey, who has been through several updates to the county's
Comprehensive Plan, stresses the need for industrial development to
lessen the tax burden on residents.
Felts' goals are to help support schools, provide recreational
opportunities, a countywide recycling program and long-range planning
for housing.
