CEDIK is now Blueprint Kentucky.
We changed our name!
Engaged Communities. Vibrant Economies.
As a unit in the Martin-Gatton College of Agriculture, Food and Environment since 2010, Blueprint Kentucky embraces our mission through engagement, research and instruction. Along with our partners in Kentucky Cooperative Extension we connect the resources of our land-grant university with Kentucky communities. We do this by connecting communities to people, place and purpose.
