ROOTED IN ROME

There's a lot of great reasons to root yourself in Rome, whether it be where you work, live, play or raise a family. The quality of life in Rome offers opportunities for continued growth and prosperity. 

​

One of Rome's top priorities is community and economic development and the City has several municipal and non-profit agencies to provide advice and financial assistance for small, local businesses.

​

Rome Free Academy, the City's high school, houses a S.T.E.M (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) program and 80-percent of its students graduate with at least one semester of college credit, and Mohawk Valley Community College offers free tuition to the Top 10-percent of RFA's graduating class.

​

Home to 10 attractions listed on the National Register of Historic Places and countless local landmarks, Rome is a historically-rich place. Fort Stanwix National Monument is centrally located in the City's Downtown, which is a bridge to connect history to the Downtown's rebranded Arts District.

​

Not only is Rome rich in history and culture, it's also among the most affordable and safest. Rome has ranked within the Top 10 most affordable mid-sized metropolitan statistical areas, while also ranking in the Top 15 safest and most secure mid-sized cities in the country.
