Lakeland board approves condemning Relax Inn
Relax Inn owner Mike Patel (in a 2020 file photo) died in January. His son Shivan Patel came to the Lakeland meeting Thursday to ask for more time so his family could mourn in peace. “We’ve already had a lot taken away this year,” he said “Not only is the motel our business, it is also our home as well.” However the board moved ahead to condemn the property at 3645 Canada Road.

Lakeland officials continue to work on redesigning the area around Interstate 40 and Canada Road and have voted to condemn the motel north of the interchange.
