Our city needs to be willing to spend money now to improve our future. By taking the lead I hope this will in turn help to improve our consumer confidence so we all start spending again! To draw tourists dollars into Raleigh we need to add perks like free wi-fi!

This is just following through with that plan. Also, there is so much more infrastructure to pay for in North Raleigh then downtown. If free wifi helps downtown do well then that means more money from taxes to pay for those roads in the rest of the city. I’m biased of course but the plan for wifi has been in place for years.
