Wireless Washtenaw is an exciting new initiative for the Washtenaw community.  The goal for this project is to provide a wireless network for the urban, suburban and rural settings in 2007. Objectives include providing citizens and visitors a pleasant, seamless wireless Internet experience; supporting economic development and improving the quality of life in Washtenaw County; serving as a model for other communities to observe, learn from and use the knowledge gained to promote similar services in their own communities; and providing a model of cooperation and collaboration between government, business and education. The project team, including local universities, the local ITZone, the City of Ann Arbor, the Washtenaw Development Council, local units of government, and the State of Michigan, is committed to presenting a business plan to the Washtenaw County Board of Commissioners in August 2005 and having a series of pilots through out the county by the end of the year.
