The county is working with the city of Georgetown to launch public Wi-Fi in the square in May, according to county documents.<\/p>\n

County residents will also be able to enjoy free connectivity at the Williamson County Expo Center<\/a> in Taylor, as well as the Taylor Ballfields, this May.<\/p>\n
