Local Economy & Job Opportunities

Until 1960, Rome’s economy was strongly built around manufacturing and an Air Force base. Since the base’s closure, the area has restructured into a vibrant and more diverse economy. The city attracts top-ranked tech and medical concerns as well as entrepreneurs of all sizes.

Rome consistently has one of the best job markets in the Mohawk Valley. Top employers include A.O. Fox Hospital, Bassett Healthcare, and Faxton-St. Luke’s Healthcare. With thousands of jobs between them, they provide state-of-the-art care to the area.

Finance is another growth area for Rome and the surrounding communities. You can expect to find Metropolitan Life Insurance and Utica National Insurance Group as major players. Hannaford Supermarket, Price Chopper, and Wal-Mart are the top retail brands.

Things to Do in Rome

Fort Stanwix National Monument is the most recognizable attraction in Rome. Sitting on 16 acres downtown, it’s a reconstruction of the colonial-era fortification completed 1762. More than 485,000 historical artifacts are associated with the site.

Rome’s John F. Kennedy Civic Arena is one of the top sports venues in Mohawk Valley. Opened to the public in 1964 and fully renovated in 2008, it hosts ice hockey and figure skating events. It has a 1,200-seat capacity and is located beside the seasonal Municipal Pool.

Rome gets a remarkable amount of snow—about ten feet a year—thanks to “lake effect snow” from Lake Ontario. The Woods Valley Ski Area not far from Delta Lake State Park is one place locals go to enjoy the best downhill skiing. The state park itself sits on a picturesque peninsula extending into the lake. It offers tent, RV, and trailer camping as well as abundant fishing.
