Main Streets
The Rome Main Streets Program advocates a return to "community self-reliance, local empowerment, and the rebuilding of traditional commercial districts based on their unique assets: distinctive architecture, pedestrian-friendly environment, personal service, local ownership, and a sense of community." The Rome's Main Streets program is the only one of its kind in New York State.
Rome Main Streets focus is on Rome's three central business district commercial corridors: East Dominick Street, West Dominick Street, and James Street.
