Encompassing a major transportation corridor, Canal front lands, residential development and the City’s growing arts and cultural district, the Erie Boulevard Brownfield Opportunity Area is an implementation plan to develop realistic redevelopment scenarios in the surrounding area of the former Rome Cable Site. 

Serving as the final planning piece in the Brownfield Opportunity Area process, the Step 3 Downtown BOA Implementation Plan will identify specific projects and techniques that will serve as catalysts to transform and revitalize the downtown core.

Winning Governor Andrew Cuomo's $10 million Downtown Revitalization Initiative in 2017, the City of Rome has undergone several projects to improve the vitality of its growing downtown area.
