Grant approved for "green" Parking Lot at City Hall/City Hall Park

Mayor Scott Carmichael announced the approval of a grant for a "green" parking lot at Lakeland City Hall to support additional parking for City Hall, City Hall Park and the Soccer Fields at City Hall.

The grant is for 80% of the cost up to $28,000 and provides for construction of a parking lot constructed of permeable material that will minimize storm water drainage and the normal parking lot pollutants.

The Lakeland Board of Commissioners will consider approval of the grant contract at the next BOC meeting.

Staff Engineer Emily Boswell prepared the successful grant application under the leadership of City Engineer Philip Stuckert.
