During the past year, the University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service has worked to determine ways we can better serve you and together work toward a stronger Kentucky.

Through 31,000 survey responses and 500 focus groups and personal interviews, you have told us about the things you value. Results from these interactions were processed by UK’s Community and Economic Development Initiative of Kentucky and Kentucky by the Numbers and are now available to you.

Extension agents and specialists will diligently work during the next few months to bring local individuals and community partners to the table to discuss ways to best address communities’ top priorities. We will also be developing programs and plans of work based on your identified priorities and concerns. These programs will roll out during the next program year which begins in July. 

More detailed information about the statewide community assessment and county level results are available online at https://extension.ca.uky.edu/communityassessment or by contacting the (COUNTY NAME) Extension office.

Educational programs of the Cooperative Extension Service serve all people regardless of economic or social status and will not discriminate on the basis of race, color, ethnic origin, national origin, creed, religion, political belief, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expressions, pregnancy, marital status, genetic information, age, veteran status, or physical or mental disability.
