A distribution center is proposed off Swindell Road near I-4 in North Lakeland

Where it is. On Swindell Road in north Lakeland.

Land near Swindell Road and I-4 could shift from residential to business-park use for a distribution center.

Peterson & Myers, P.A. has filed applications with Polk County to change how land along Swindell Road, just off I-4 in North Lakeland, can be used. The requests would move parcels from Residential Low-1 (RL-1) to Business Park Center zoning and set development conditions for what the records call the Swindell Road I-4 Distribution Center.

The filings come in paired sets: a Future Land Use Map amendment plus a companion Land Development Code text amendment. One set, filed on behalf of owner David Wilcox, covers about 14 acres and seeks Business Park Center-2 (BPC-2). Another, filed on behalf of CTR Logistics, LLC, covers about 21 acres and seeks Business Park Center-1 (BPC-1).

All of the records were filed on November 5, 2026. The county lists one text-amendment application as "Application Received." No building plans, square footage, or timeline are public yet.

What happens next

The comprehensive-plan and code amendments will go through county review and public hearings before the Board of County Commissioners. No hearing dates are public yet.
