With less than a month left in 2024, we can’t help but reminisce on all that has happened in Lakeland this year — from new developments to unforgettable events, and everything in between.

As we look to the next year, we’re calling on you to tell us what you’re hoping to accomplish as a Lakelander in 2025. Whether you’ve lived here for two months or 20+ years, we’re a firm believer that there’s always something new to explore in our city.

Maybe you’re like City Editor Amelia who has a goal to try more restaurants next year, or City Editor Connor who is still hoping to ride the Amtrak and skip that I-4 traffic. Whatever your Lakeland goal is, help us create our bucket list for the new year by sharing it with us — we just might include your answer in a future newsletter.
