New Galesburg City Manager Eric Hanson joins WGIL's Jay Redfern on this episode of Galesburg In Focus.

Five men took turns running the city of Galesburg in 2023, but the latest and current city manager has plans to stay awhile.

Hanson assumed the position as the city’s top administrator on Dec. 11, 2023, after spending the past four years as the assistant city manager in Normal.

However, he’s not a stranger in town or to the area.

A native of west-central Illinois, Eric graduated from Monmouth College with a concentration in Economics, and holds an MPA in Public Administration from the University of Illinois-Springfield.

He worked for the former Galesburg Regional Economic Development Agency from 2005 to 2007, and served as city administrator for Monmouth for five years from 2007 to 2012.

In addition to Monmouth, he’s also served as city manager in Ballwin, Missouri, and Indianola, Iowa.

Through his extensive experience as a public administrator, Eric has developed a track record of successfully managing capital projects, building consensus, and effectively resolving complex issues.
