2. About 3 miles after you pass Prestonsburg, take KY 80 toward Hazard.
3. Take the Hazard/Jackson exit (Exit 59) off of KY 80. At the end of the ramp, turn right.
   This puts you on KY 15, which goes into Hazard.

   stone tower. At this point, Memorial Drive branches off of Main and heads uphill to the left. The EKCEP Central Office is in the building at the corner of North Main and Memorial Dr., directly across Main from the stone tower. (The building is a four-story, red brick
   building with green awnings and shutters and some beige trim.)
8. Parking is available in the lot adjacent to the building, or in the lot across Memorial Dr.
   (behind the building) marked "Parking for Hazvest Building Only," or in the lot across
