At a called meeting early this morning, the Rome Board of Education formally declared its support of the proposed West Third Street development.
“This is going to change Rome,” said Board Member Jim Greer. “It’s going to bring in jobs, an influx of people in the medical industry. It’s all positive for us.”
The board voted unanimously to issue a statement of support for the City Commission’s efforts to secure the proposed project that would move Barron Stadium and the Rome-Floyd Tennis Center to land near State Mutual Stadium. West Third Street would become a multi-use development with retail space, residences, offices and green space.
“The stadium is going to be much better, and there’s going to be a lot more parking available,” Board Member Gene Clark said of the facility, which is also where Rome High School plays its home football games.
