A Zipline drone charger is proposed at Lakeland Square Mall

City records show a concept plan filed for 3800 Highway 98 North — the Lakeland Square Mall property in North Lakeland — described simply as "Zipline Drone Charger." The plan is listed as under review by the City of Lakeland.

The record does not spell out the size, location on the site, or timing of the drone charger, so the specifics are still not public. Zipline is a drone-delivery company, and the concept plan appears to describe an installation to support that kind of operation, but the record itself only gives the short description above.

The same address has seen a steady run of tenant buildouts and store remodels over the past year — including a Box Lunch store buildout — reflecting ongoing activity at the mall, though those permits are separate from this concept plan.
