Military Center in Rome NY found to be among the best.

By Chris Ulanowski

Rome, NY – Mohawk Valley Edge, the agency leading efforts to keep Rome's Defense Finance and Accounting Service Center off the Pentagon's base closing list, has submitted a white paper to the Base Realignment and Closure Commission.

Mohawk Valley Edge spokesman Rob Duchow tells WRVO's Chris Ulanowski that it makes a strong case to keep the Rome center open.

This is the moment to join our community of supporters and help keep journalists on the ground, asking hard questions that matter to our region.
