Lakeland Linder Airport is filling in with new buildings, hangars and an Amazon lot

Lakeland Linder International Airport sits on a single city-owned parcel off Don Emerson Drive, and over the past year it has seen a cluster of construction permits rather than one big project. Records name a new Avelo Village building (about $680,000, since finaled), a Double M Aviation hangar at 4575 Airport Perimeter E (valued around $2.6 million, since finaled), Amazon Retail electrical work and EV chargers, a second-floor administration renovation (about $431,000, issued), and food-service work tied to Sora Eatery and the Warbird Food Court at Sun 'n Fun.

A separate Concept Plan filed in early 2026 for a "Holdroom Expansion" — the gate waiting area on the passenger side — was later withdrawn, so that particular expansion is not moving forward under that filing. The rest of the airport work spans new buildings, fences, fire-protection systems and signage, much of it already completed and some still active.

All of the permits list the City of Lakeland as property owner, and most work was done by Register Construction & Engineering. Because these filings share one parcel, this card describes the airport as a whole rather than a single development.
