Economy[编辑]

Perkins Township houses numerous large, commercialized and tourist-related businesses, due, in large part, to the nearby Cedar Point amusement park in neighboring Sandusky.

In addition, the Sandusky Mall and Sandusky Speedway lie in Perkins Township.

Although the Perkins Township plant remains open, its future was uncertain, as are those of the approximately 1,100 employed there.[6] However, Delphi sold the plant in early 2008 to Kyklos, Inc, which continues to operate the plant under the name KBI.[7]
