New life planned for Partridge in downtown Rome
The Rome City Commission is expected to provide a boost Monday to long-running plans to remake the former Partridge Restaurant downtown into a live music venue. Commissioners also are slated to approve a change order to the construction contract for Phase 9 of the Walker Mountain Landfill at their meeting, set for 6:30 p.m. in City Hall, 601 Broad St. A premeeting caucus, with no specific agenda posted, will start at 5 p.m. Both sessions are public.
