THE FIRE INSIDE
7
COMING SOON TO LAKELAND Have you ever driven by a new structure under construction and thought “Wonder what that’s going to be?”. To help put your mind at ease we have asked our always helpful Fire Inspectors for information on new construction coming to an area near you.
Inspector Riley told us about an exciting new recreational business coming to downtown in the Heritage Plaza, called Ax Caliber. In Ax Caliber, you can enjoy an atmosphere similar to Top Golf, but with axes instead of golf clubs. With 14 lanes of ax throwing, pool tables, and flat screen TV’s, the residents of Lakeland are in for a unique experience. Ax Caliber will also offer a bar style menu and an in-house coffee shop so you and a group of your friends can enjoy a meal and a cold beverage to alleviate your appetite.
In Inspector Scripter’s area off of Lakeland Hills Blvd. There’s a new structure being put into Lake Crago Park. Along with the beautiful new dog park, several recreational activities on the water such as canoeing, kayaking, and sailing, a new building has been constructed along the water front to be used as a venue rental. This exciting addition will be Lakeland’s first water based recreational center. With modern architecture and features like large bay doors that give open air access to the inside, it’s sure to be a popular event spot!
Inspector Baldwin disclosed that on the north end of City limits on N Highway 33, there’s a new Amazon delivery center being constructed. These centers are used to house and prepare customer orders for final delivery. Amazon set foot in the Lakeland area in 2015 with its fulfilment center on County Line Road and in July they opened an air cargo facility. With Amazon expanding in the area, you may not even have to wait two days for delivery anymore! There is no known completion date for this project.
On the far south end of town, Inspector Sutherland announced that the Starbucks in Lakeside Village is getting a brand new look! They’re moving in with a jeweller a few doors down from their current location, between Moe’s and Olive Garden, and will now have a full service drive thru!
