Mayor Dave Bing will deliver his third State of the City address as he, the City Council and union leaders seek fiscal answers to keep the state from appointing an emergency manager.
He's giving the speech at 7 p.m. Wednesday in the Erma Henderson Auditorium at City Hall.
In prior years, the event was held at the Max Fisher Music Center. The move to City Hall is designed to save money. A preliminary review from the state showed a nearly $200 million general fund deficit for 2011.
Municipal unions have yet to ratify concessions aimed at cutting into the deficit.
A review team is looking over the city's books to determine if a financial emergency exists, a step that could lead to Gov. Rick Snyder appointing an emergency manager.
