Predevelopment activity is slowly increasing in portions of The Lake District, the troubled 160-acre mixed-use project south of the Canada Road-Interstate 40 interchange in Lakeland.
Much of the work at the property has stalled since developer Yehuda Netanel filed for bankruptcy. A foreclosure sale took place on May 14 of this year with TIG Romspen US Master Mortgage LP ultimately acquiring the property back from the bank for $26.5 million.
City Manager Michael Walker told the city’s Industrial Development Board Thursday, Oct. 24, he met with a representative for the landowner this week.
