AS I SEE IT
Synergy is active teamwork. It’s the power harnessed by our city management working in tandem with every department and every employee, who offer their top performance to produce the greater good.
In this issue of Bridges, you will have the opportunity to read about dedicated leadership in public safety with feature articles on Rome Police Chief Denise Downer-McKinney and Rome-Floyd County Fire Chief Troy Brock. Both of them were recently honored by their peers.
You can get an overview of educational opportunities (grades K-12), then find a feature on the 20th anniversary season of our distinguished Rome Braves. History buffs will be happy to take a special look at the newest addition to Ridge Ferry Park, the Myra H houseboat.
Our tourism and convention staff – among the best in the state, I might add – have prepared a list of must-do events and things coming up you may not have known much about, but wouldn’t want to miss.
The city of Rome is pleased to be a new partner with Bridges magazine, and I encourage you to read the articles and learn more about what’s happening in this city we call home. We are fortunate to have a city with a wealth of benefits. From education to entertainment, from rivers to recreation, Rome works because we work together.
