In July 2018, Governor Andrew M. Cuomo announced 11 transformational projects that were awarded funding as part of the $10 million Downtown Revitalization Initiative award. These projects were selected as strategic investments that will drive advanced manufacturing growth, transform public spaces, improve walkability and transportation access. “The City of Rome is on the cusp of transformation, and these critical resources will help the community grow and prosper for generations to come,” Governor Cuomo said. “These projects will build on our progress and help usher in a new era of technology and advanced manufacturing to drive growth and economic energy throughout the Mohawk Valley.” The revitalization of Rome has begun!
