Lakeland businesses

Askew Hargraves Harcourt and Associates (A2H) recently celebrated their second annual anniversary of their office in Lakeland at 3009 Davies Plantation Road. The Lakeland Area Chamber of Commerce assisted in a ribbon cutting ceremony to mark this event.

An Art Exhibit by Jim Powell is currently on display at the A2H offices and the public is invited to view the art during normal business hours.

A2H purchased the vacant building at 3009 Davies Plantation Road and remodeled it into local offices. The building had been vacant for at least five years, so the remodeling of the building and the location of Askew Hargraves Harcourt and Associates in Lakeland provided a double benefit to Lakeland. Additional information on the firm, which provides engineering, surveying and planning services, is available at www.A2H.com.

The Lakeland Chamber of Commerce also has risen from being dormant to being an active asset to the area. The Chamber meets monthly (schedule and additional information is at LakelandChamberofCommerce.com). Businesses and residents are encouraged to become active in the Chamber as the Chamber continues its efforts to support local businesses and the community.

The Lakeland Chamber of Commerce and the Lakeland Economic Development Commission are actively involved in encouraging development, support and expansion of quality retail and office uses in Lakeland.
