Keep Rome-Floyd Beautiful fully aligns with and echoes the sentiments expressed by the ECO Center regarding the tragic loss of Sgt. Ben Cunningham. Sgt. Cunningham embodied genuine kindness, unwavering loyalty, and exceptional leadership across our community. We join the ECO Center in mourning this profound loss and keep his wife, daughter, and family in our constant thoughts and prayers.

The Georgia Department of Natural Resources is deeply saddened to announce the sudden passing of Law Enforcement Division Sergeant Ben Cunningham, a 27-year veteran of the Department. Sergeant Cunningham passed away following a possible medical episode while on duty in Rome, Georgia, and participating in a Law Enforcement Division physical fitness program.

His career with DNR began with the Wildlife Resources Division in August 1999. He transferred to DNR Law Enforcement in December 2006, was promoted to Corporal in 2017 and to Sergeant in March 2021. Cunningham was an outstanding Game Warden and supervisor in the DNR Law Enforcement Division, most recently serving as Sergeant in Region I in northwest Georgia, where he supervised Game Wardens responsible for Walker, Dade, Chattooga and Floyd counties.

We are grateful for his years of dedication to this Department and will remember the mark he left on our DNR family.

Look at what we just pulled off TOGETHER!!

When we first looked at this massive 100+ foot wall, it felt totally impossible... but never underestimate a group of determined volunteers who love their community!! 🖌️💪

Thank you to every single volunteer who showed up, brought the energy, and helped us tackle this monster project today.

We are just getting started… this giant canvas is about to represent the absolute heart and soul of Rome. ❤️

Nothing beats keeping our trails safe, clean, and beautiful…except seeing our ambassadors' smiling faces out there! 🚲💚

Remember to slow down and keep it clean!

Remember yesterday’s behind-the-scenes look? The final phase is officially in the books! 🎉

A massive shoutout to the amazing Atrium Health Floyd Macon and Charlotte, NC, team members! They rolled up their sleeves to install the final stage of the Unity Point project: anti-graffiti coating, and it looks fantastic! ✨

Honestly, we might not even need that coating because the numbers don’t lie. Since these murals went up, we’ve seen zero graffiti in the area. When a community paints together, behavior changes:

📉 60% Drop in Vandalism: Community-led murals reduce illegal tagging and littering by up to 60% (Center for Active Design). Blank walls feel consequence-free; local art demands respect.

🚶‍♀️ 84% Boost in Walkability: 84% of residents feel safer and are more likely to walk through urban areas featuring public art (Americans for the Arts).

❤️ 74% Increase in Community Pride: 74% of citizens say public art gives them a deeper sense of belonging.

At KRFB, our goal is to cultivate a strong sense of ownership. We can’t expect citizens to care for an environment they don't feel connected to. When volunteers help paint our city walls, they put down roots—and they fiercely protect the neighborhood they helped create.

Thank you to our incredible volunteers! Come check out the finished masterpiece at Unity Point! 👇📸

Every day, work goes on behind the scenes that doesn't get a spotlight. Let's be honest: taking care of our environment and community can sometimes be a thankless job. But we refuse to let volunteering with KRFB feel that way!

Today, we are packing up some special thank-you bags for the wonderful volunteers who are stepping up to give back to Rome and Floyd County this week.

The honest truth? Without them, we couldn't achieve a single thing.

We see the hard work, the early mornings, and the sweat they put into keeping our community beautiful. You are the heartbeat of KRFB, and we want to make sure you always feel seen, thanked, and appreciated. 💚✨

To everyone joining us out in the field this week: Thank you for making a difference!

Happy 4th of July !!!❤️🤍💙

This year is incredibly special as our nation celebrates its 250th anniversary. Just as generations before us put in the hard work to build and defend a free nation, it takes daily dedication from all of us to sustain it—and to keep our local community clean, vibrant, and beautiful.

Let’s honor our freedom by taking pride in our home. Work hard, celebrate safely, and let’s Keep Rome-Floyd Beautiful!
