The City of Orlando will formally take the lead in the fundraising and initiatives to establish a Pulse memorial. The onePULSE Foundation, a nonprofit that in November announced its dissolution, sent out a final email to supporters officially handing the reins on the project to the city. The Orlando City Council voted a month before to buy the property housing the former Pulse nightclub. Mayor Buddy Dyer met with members of the onePULSE Foundation Board to understand the impacts of the closure and learn more about the work done to date on the memorial. The board agreed to share memorial design work and provided an overview of its initiatives beyond the memorial. Several decisions have yet to be made now, including whether to leave the Pulse building standing. Queer News Tonight will closely follow and report the next steps the city will take to finally memorialize the 49 lost and the dramatic effects Pulse had on the LGBTQ+ community.
