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.
