Rural Heritage Development Initiative

The Kentucky Crossroads Rural Heritage Development Initiative is a three-year rural preservation pilot project to implement preservation-based economic development strategies in eight central Kentucky counties:  Boyle, Green, LaRue, Marion, Mercer, Nelson, Taylor and Washington. The RHDI is sponsored by Preservation Kentucky [], the Kentucky Heritage Council and the National Trust for Historic Preservation [] and funded through a grant from the W. K. Kellogg Foundation with financial match from private donors and the local counties.
