The Project
KENTUCKY GROWTH READINESS

Presentations you can download

This project is designed to be used in communities across Kentucky. A network of professionals is trained to bring these materials to your community and to help you make water quality improvements—without sacrificing growth potential. However, if you want to use these materials, you can download the PowerPoint presentations that are listed below.
 
There are nine separate presentations for different audiences and different purposes. Each presentation contains slides and speaking notes. Feel free to modify or adapt the presentations for your situation. If you need assistance in either understanding some of the content or making the presentions, check out the Support Links, or contact the Project Coordinator.
