ABOUT ESN: The Entrepreneurial Support Network (ESN) of West Central Illinois formed in 2008. As the group expanded, additional counties joined the group effectively forming the Six County ESN that includes partners from Henderson, Henry, Knox, Mercer, Stark and Warren Counties.

It has been said that one should “celebrate that which they want to see more of in a community.” By recognizing businesses through annual events such as Small Business Awards, the Six County Fast Pitch, and various networking opportunities throughout the counties, ESN hopes to see increased entrepreneurial activity in the six county region.

ESN partners are: Carl Sandburg College, City of Galva, First Mid Bank & Trust, Galesburg Area Chamber of Commerce, Illinois Extension, Kewanee Economic Development Corporation, Knox County Area
