Bye-bye to the 85-year-old Florida Citrus Mutual building, Publix demolishing it for a parking lot

Crews have begun demolishing the 85-year-old Florida Citrus Mutual building in downtown Lakeland to make room for a parking lot for Publix’s IT campus.

The Lakeland City Commission unanimously approved Publix’s request for a conditional use permit to demolish the roughly 21,000-square-foot building at 411 E. Orange St. and turn the 2.42-acre site into a surface-level parking lot in the city’s downtown core.
