Polk County Schools Announce Precautions for Partial Solar Eclipse on Monday

Our area will only get a partial eclipse, which may not be noticeable, but it is still risky to look directly at the sun during that time.

The 45-acre landfill contains the toxic byproducts of four decades’ worth of coal combustion.

At 1,400 acres, the Williams-owned solar farm would be one of the biggest in Central Florida.

The proposed settlement wouldn’t cover the cost of removing the chemicals, but joining cities that have opted out carries huge risks.

Lakeland Electric is partnering with Highland Homes to create a solar-powered subdivision of 77 interconnected homes.

The Christmas Parade route will be 1.8 miles instead of 2.5 miles, partly to protect Lakeland’s iconic swans.

One of six new RICE engines was damaged, but work to install the others will continue as planned while it is repaired.

If the high-tech harvester successfully removes algae and toxins from Lake Bonnet, it may be used on other polluted lakes in Lakeland.

Unit 2 of the decommissioned coal-powered plant was pulled down with cables at 5:40 p.m.

Lakeland Electric is considering a pilot project to create a mini solar power plant during the construction of a new subdivision.
