The City offers a rich quality of life with employment opportunities, an education system that prepares students for college, and a hospital that offers top-of-the-line care, all with convenient accessibility the region’s offerings. Nestl
ed in the middle of the region, Rome is only hours away from the high peaks of the Adirondacks, the bright lights of New York City, and the sights of Niagara Falls. We are home to the Mohawk River Trail that connects Rome’s waterfront, historical sites, commercial districts, local schools, parks, the Griffiss Business and Technology Park, and residential neighborhoods, all while offering a unique multi-use trail recreational experience. Delta Lake State Park is located just north of the city offering endless activities in all four seasons with a boat launch, beach, campground, and all season fishing. The City of Rome is the place where families raise generations to live, work, and call home.
