The economic impact of Travis Air Force Base on Solano County will be reviewed at a special luncheon March 20 ad the Courtyard by Marriott in Fairfield.
The event is part of the Solano Economic Development Corporation (EDC) series of monthly meetings to increase awareness of industries that are impacting the county.
