Welcome!


Welcome to the LDDA home page. The Lakeland Downtown Development Authority is a special district whose mission is to improve and stimulate the environment for economic development in a people-oriented Downtown community.

We do not regulate, but exist to help Downtown business owners, residents and visitors have the best experience possible in the heart of Lakeland, Florida.

Parts of this website are still under construction. If you have unanswered questions about the Downtown or LDDA, please contact us. See the Contact Us page for details.
