New Director of Economic Development for Galesburg

City of Galesburg

A man with experience working in the Quad Cities will soon begin working in Galesburg. The city has hired Ryan Berger to be Director of Community Development.

Berger has over 11 years of professional experience in community and economic development, including serving as the Land Development Manager for the City of Moline,  Planning and Redevelopment Administrator for Rock Island, and the Community Development Director for the City of Groveland, Florida. 

Berger is expected to start his new job in Galesburg late next month. 

A native of Detroit, Herb Trix began his radio career as a country-western disc jockey in Roswell, New Mexico (“KRSY, your superkicker in the Pecos Valley”), in 1978. After a stint at an oldies station in Topeka, Kansas (imagine getting paid to play “Louie Louie” and “Great Balls of Fire”), he wormed his way into news, first in Topeka, and then in Freeport Illinois.
