Lakeland is building a new electrical building at its Glendale Street substation
The City of Lakeland has permits for a new electrical building, backup generators and fuel storage at 1825 Glendale Street.
City records at 1825 Glendale Street, a parcel owned by the City of Lakeland, show a set of commercial permits for a new electrical building, two site generators and a new fuel tank, along with a reroof of a substation on the property. Vogel Bros. Building Co. is listed as the building contractor across the work. The new electrical building is valued at $1,000,000, the two generators at $250,000, and the fuel tank at $50,000.
The building and generator permits were filed in August 2024 and issued in October 2025, and the fuel-tank permit was issued in July 2026. A separate permit to reroof the substation was issued and has since expired. Together the records point to utility infrastructure work at a city electrical substation site rather than a new commercial storefront.
A nearby FDOT project — the Glendale Street Trail from New Jersey Road to Lakeland Highlands Road — is grouped with these records but is a separate bike-path item in the state work program.
