2 Rome Area Chamber of Commerce A Message from the Chairman of the Board What an incredible year it has been! We’ve rocked numerous grand openings, ribbon cuttings, and networking events. We’ve also again executed annual programs like the Honor America Days Parade and Concert along with the Rome Home Expo. The year has been so exciting and fruitful that I will be back for a second consecutive term as the Chairman of the Board. I am very hon- ored and proud of the extremely rare opportunity. Griffiss Business and Technology Park continues to impress and is an economic force for the city and county. It is poised to break the 6,000-job mark with corporations like Sovena USA, Assured Information Security (AIS), and Booz Allen Hamilton having had banner years. They’ve brought economic prosperity and great pride to our city. The chamber continues to happily assist these great assets as they’ve grown at an asymptotic rate.

In addition to the Griffiss Park success, the city has secured $40 million in grants over the past Wes Cupp, Chairman few years. All of this economic activity has created a Rome Country Club buzz and energy that I’ve never experienced in Rome. Tangible progress is being made everywhere you look. This may read like your boil- erplate, overly optimistic chamber of commerce propaganda. I assure you, it is not. Rome is genuinely improving at a tremendous pace into a fabulous place. It is about time. We at the chamber are poised to facilitate this exciting progress. It will be our best year yet!

36th Annual Honor America Days Parade July 27, 2019 - 10 AM - 1 PM One of Central New York’s largest spectacles of community pride and patriotic enthusiasm, the Honor America Days Parade steps off at 10am on Saturday, July 27, with more than 100 units, including marching bands, community- designed floats competing for prizes, a flag-waving good time enjoyed by thousands of friends and families cheering from curb-side, storefronts, and front porches along two miles of city streets. Symphoria Symphony Orchestra Concert - July 27, 2019 - 8 PM to 10 PM Presented by the Rome Area Chamber of Commerce and the City of Rome: The great lawn at Fort Stanwix will once again host the annual Pops Concert presented by The Symphoria Symphony Orchestra, featuring the Syracuse Pops Chorus, popular show tunes, rousing marches, and a celebration of the American spirit along with cannon fire, the ringing of church bells, and a spectacular fireworks display during the 1812 Overture and the Stars and Stripes!

For more information: www.romechamber.com. Cycling the Erie Canal in July An eight-day, 400-mile, bicycle tour from Buffalo to Albany follows the historic and scenic Erie Canal. Nearly three- quarters of the ride is off-road on the traffic-free Canalway Trail. More than 700 bicyclists and visitors will visit Rome and spend the night on the lawn at Fort Stanwix National Monument. The water tower at the former General Cable site near Bellamy Harbor Park is constantly lit and a lasting monument to the Erie Canal’s Bicentennial celebrated in 2017. Restoration of the tower and its colorful lighting also draw attention to Rome’s manufacturing heritage and the modern upgrades in and around Bellamy Harbor Park: a Navigation Center complex and parking renovations, with a path that connects the park to the navigation center and boat launch. The center has rest rooms, a laundry facility, and a large meeting space with potential for many uses. A city attendant provides facility access and maintain awareness of security and maintenance needs. Tower photo credit: Mike Colangelo

Welcoming new businesses and recognizing the existing ones in the community is very rewarding for me and for the new business proprietor. The committee presents the 1st dollar of profit award to new businesses during grand openings and ribbon cutting ceremonies that are scheduled and coordinated by the Chamber office. Businesses that expand are also recognized for their reinvestment in the community. When a business joins the Chamber, you can network with other member businesses, which develop partnerships and the support of other businesses. As an example, the Business After Hour receptions offer excellent opportunities to promote your business in a casual and informative setting. This is an excellent way to highlight your business. The goals of the Chamber are very straightforward - support the businesses in our area, increase membership and expand awareness to the community by being a Chamber member which has so much to offer.
