Downtown Engineering selected as consultant for new housing development in Polk County

LAKELAND (August 16, 2024) - Downtown Engineering is excited to announce its selection as the consultant for the conceptual site planning of a new residential development located on Ritter Road, just north of Lakeland. This project will feature single-family homes, offering a vital solution to the growing housing shortage in the area.

The development site presents unique challenges, including utility availability and existing drainage features, but Downtown Engineering is well-prepared to tackle these challenges. The team is eager to present solutions that will ensure the project's success and contribute to Polk County's housing needs. 

Conceptual site plans will be developed and utilized for further planning, including detailed cost estimates. These options will be presented to local agencies for review and to utility providers to coordinate connections into existing infrastructure. As the project progresses, the next phase will involve comprehensive civil engineering design and the initiation of the permitting process.
