Polk County Industrial Market

Distributors, logistics firms and e-commerce purveyors alike have flocked to Polk County because of its central Florida location, sophisticated highway network that connects Interstate 4 with Interstate 75 and Interstate 95 and its ability to reach roughly 18 million customers within a 24-hour drive.

Although Davenport has emerged as a distribution site for the likes of Wal-Mart, FedEx, Amazon and others, and Medline Industries Inc. and Coca-Cola have chosen Auburndale to fulfill customer orders, Lakeland has remained the epicenter for industrial space in Polk County.

Publix Super Markets Inc., Rooms-to-Go and Amazon are but a few of the companies that have chosen Lakeland to distribute goods from, thanks to its established road network, abundant land and proximity to population centers.
