History
The Forum Civic Center is a 16 million dollar complex in Georgia, United States that was built with some inspiration from the original Forum in Rome, Italy. The venue is owned by Floyd County and is operated by Safari Hospitality Management. The Forum is located at 301 Tribune St. on the bank of the Oostanaula River closest to Broad Street beside the new Floyd County courthouse. The Forum can be used for anything from conferences and concerts to sporting events. The Forum also plays a large part in Rome's economy due to its location in the heart of down town Rome. Since the Forum is behind Broad Street, it is easy for visitors and locals to walk from the Forum to get something to eat at the many restaurants or to do some shopping at the large variety of stores that make up Rome's down town area.
