Robert Palmer, whose high school graduation took place at The Lakeland Center 19 years ago, announces that the building will carry his initials now that its name is being changed to the RP Funding Center. Palmer's mortgage-lending company has signed a five-year naming rights deal for the building that opened in 1974 as the Lakeland Civic Center. RP Funding is also founding partner of the Lakeland Magic NBA D-league team that will be headquartered at the renamed center.
