Summary
Lakeland’s Midtown is set for a major transformation with a new CRA draft plan that promises more housing, medical offices, shops, and vibrant public spaces—especially near the health center and Tigertown. The plan also includes a stunning new nature preserve linking Bonnet Springs Park to Lake Parker, tackling stormwater while expanding green space. Local voices like Denise Gilmore of Mary’s Bagel Café emphasize the need for business growth and neighborhood cleanup, while the plan uniquely honors the area’s African American heritage through its first-ever historic resources survey. Public input is still open, with final approval pending the Lakeland City Commission. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
