Petitioner David Goldberg reopens historic 77 Fall Street storefront, pledges 12 jobs
Summary
David Goldberg told the Seneca Falls Town Board he bought and renovated the long‑vacant 77 Fall Street, preserved historic fixtures and created 12 seasonal jobs as part of downtown revitalization.
David Goldberg, introduced to the board as a petitioner, described buying and renovating 77 Fall Street, a five‑story downtown building that had been vacant for about a decade. He said the work involved removing decades of packed‑in grease, replacing unsafe windows and restoring historic fixtures from the Seneca Falls Performing Arts Center and other local donors.
Goldberg framed the project as heritage preservation and downtown economic development, saying Seneca Falls “needed this to be revived.” He told the board the shop has created 12 new jobs and that the owners retrofitted the retail space while keeping original booths and furnishings to preserve community memory. "I thank you all, and I can't wait to serve you more ice cream," he added.
Board members thanked Goldberg and noted the project pulled a long‑vacant storefront back into productive use; no formal action was required beyond the petitioners' presentation. The petitioner acknowledged local partners who assisted with signage, lighting and renovations and credited the Chamber and local contractors for supporting the effort.
