ROME, N.Y. — The Rome Housing Authority will partner with Albany, N.Y.-based Omni Housing Development to complete a $40 million renovation project for Liberty Gardens, a 180-unit affordable housing community located in Rome. The project will be the first major upgrade of the property since it was built in 1952. Construction will include the gut renovation of all units and the installation of energy-efficient systems and appliances. The community will also be brought up to compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Groundbreaking will occur in the spring, and completion is expected to take 3 to 5 years.
