Center for Watershed Projection
This organization is to be credited with much of the original technical and conceptual material provided in Growth Readiness. This is also an excellent resource for other watershed information.
 
NEMO (Nonpoint Source Education for Municipal Officials)
NEMO's Web site describes itself as "An educational program for local land use officials that addresses the relationship of land use to natural resource protection." It has been a major motivating force for educational efforts all across the nation. Much of the approach in Growth Readiness has been modeled after NEMO. The team at NEMO has also provided useful review and comment on the content of this material.
 
Tennessee Valley Authority
TVA developed a version of Growth Readiness from NEMO and Center for Watershed Protection's materials for Tennessee, then generously provided the model to Kentucky, with no strings attached. While considerable effort was expended in adapting this curriculum to Kentucky, we could not have done this project without its help. TVA also helped train the original set of trainers.
