In the fall of 2020 Lakeland Linder International Airport completed the update of the Airport's Master Plan defining the Airport's development over the next 20 years. The project was funded through a grant partnership with the FAA, FDOT, and local funding sources. The final product serves as a critical tool for the Airport depicting the existing airport facilities and planned development initiatives.
