The impact of California's raid on city and county budgets will be explained when California Redevelopment Association Executive Director John Shirey addresses the Solano Economic Development Corp. at 7:30 a.m. Wednesday at Fairfield's Hilton Garden Inn, 2200 Gateway Court.

To help reduce its budget deficits, the state has turned to municipalities and counties, reducing funding.

"The moves at the state level have and will result in some drastic changes in local communities," Solano EDC President Michael Ammann said. "Literally millions will be lost to Solano cities and county governments because of the state's inability to balance its own budget."

The event costs $25 for EDC members, $35 for others. To register, call 864-1855.
