The free Wi-Fi will help traders become more competitive through developing the on-line aspect of their business, as well as providing free internet access for local people and visitors to the town. The project is being managed and delivered by Strabane District Council.

Funding of over £27,000 from DSD, and a further almost £8,000 from Strabane District Council helped the town become the latest in Northern Ireland to offer a free service Wi-Fi to locals and visitors alike.
