Duluth Mayor Don Ness on Maurice’s CEO George Goldfarb’s powerful keynote address at Wednesday’s Greater Downtown Council Annual Dinner Meeting at the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center:

“I am so appreciative of George Goldfrab’s leadership in our community. Not only is he leading one of the most successful retail companies in the nation, but he’s committed to growing the business in downtown Duluth. I loved his speech, every part except when he incorporated the video of me dancing in there. Oh, there will be payback for that one.”

Said Sen. Roger Reinert, DFL-Duluth, who also attended the event: “The GDC event last night was simply amazing. It was uplifting to listen to a business leader like George Goldfarb who is SO committed to the future of our community. It was also invigorating just to spend the evening with over 400 others who love our community as much as I do, and are as optimistic about the future as I am.”
