The Landia Chemical Company site encompasses a former pesticide manufacturing, blending, and storage facility located at 1405 West Olive Street in Lakeland, Polk County, Florida.

The Landia facility covers approximately 19.6 acres, comprising 4.6 acres on the 1405 West Olive Street lot and a 15-acre vacant lot across West Olive Street. The 4.6-acre Landia property includes an office building, break room building and two metal warehouses. An unrelated company is currently leasing the office and warehouse buildings. The property formerly housed an OIL and chemical drum washdown building, mill buildings, and shop buildings. The former manufacturing buildings were removed in 1991. The northern portion of the 4.6-acre property was used as a materials handling, loading, and transfer area.  More...
