LAKELAND — Claudia Tritton and other members of the Lakeland Economic Development Council recently met with some of the city’s largest employers.
Part of the LEDC’s mission is to generate jobs and capital investment by attracting companies to the area and helping existing businesses expand. Tritton said one of the biggest takeaways from those recent meetings involved accommodating all this potential new activity.
“One of the community learnings we walked away with was how we might increase the number of upscale hotels and restaurants with private dining rooms in our market,” said Tritton, vice president of business development for the LEDC. “The addition of new hotels, especially those close to our large employers and downtown core, will definitely have an impact.”
