On September 21, 2026, Bonacio Construction joined MetLife, the City of Rome, Mohawk Valley EDGE, and local officials to sign and raise the final steel beam on MetLife’s new office at the Griffiss Business and Technology Park. Construction on this102,000-square-foot Class A office building at Griffiss Business and Technology Park began in Spring.
The project repurposes a key factory site at the former Air Force base. It was developed by Bonacio Development, is being built by Bonacio Construction, and features metalwork by Bonacio Steel.
“Rome’s been wonderful to work with, absolutely wonderful to work with,” said CEO Sonny Bonacio, noting that officials in Rome “make projects happen quicker and easier than most places in New York State.” Bonacio is involved in several projects in the city, including the Air City Lofts on Griffiss and new housing at Woodhaven.
