A developer's long-sought Downtown Lakeland plan may soon be revived

There will be a second chance for Lakeland officials and a local developer to reach a deal that could revive a desolate stretch of downtown, if past disagreements don't get in the way. Lakeland officials will consider approving a redevelopment agreement between Lakeland Community Redevelopment Agency and two entities, FURC1 LLC and Thelma Project LLC, both affiliated with Lakeland developer Gregory Fancelli. If approved, the deal could radically change Massachusetts Avenue north of Lakeland Police Department to U.S. 98/Bartow Road. "I consider this a very significant project that I'm honored to be asked to be a part of," attorney Bart Allen said at the Nov. 5 CRA meeting. "As someone who lives in the downtown area, I see this as something that's transformational for the City of Lakeland." Fancelli previously told The Ledger he has been working on ambitious plans to develop North Massachusetts Avenue since 2016. The redevelopment deal, up for a vote Nov. 16, revives a deal with the city pre-COVID in 2020. The Ledger reached out to Fancelli and Brooke Agnini, who represented FURC1 and Thelma Project at the Lakeland CRA meeting held Nov. 5. Agnini declined to comment on the proposed agreement until after the Nov.

Jon Corneal, a largely forgotten founder of country-rock, dies at 80

Jon Corneal, a drummer from Auburndale who helped birth the genre of country-rock, has died at age 80. Corneal’s death on Nov. 6 came just eight days before his teenage bandmate, Winter Haven native Gram Parsons, will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on Nov. 14. “Jon Corneal was at Ground Zero of country rock as evidenced in his collaborations with Gram Parsons, Gene Clark and Doug Dillard, and his own solo work,” said Bob Kealing, author of “Calling Me Home: Gram Parsons and the Roots of Country Rock.” “I’ll miss his stories of those formative days whenever I attend Gram Parsons Derry Down shows. He was a Polk County country rock original.” In recent years, Corneal performed regularly with a small band on Friday afternoons at Hillcrest Coffee in Lakeland, singing and playing guitar and working a percussion setup with his feet. Corneal played a final show on Oct. 30, exactly one week before his death, said his friend of 50 years, Gene Owen. The influential website AllMusic.com has described Corneal as the first drummer in country-rock "down to a virtual certainty." Corneal decided to become a drummer after his mother took him to see
