The city’s next step comes in March, when it hopes to send out requests for bids. The project appears to be moving quickly now after years of delays.

Nearly 10 years after a mass shooting that took the lives of 49 people at the LGBTQ+ nightclub Pulse in Orlando, the city is finally moving forward with a design concept for a permanent memorial to honor the lives lost and shooting survivors.

The design includes a reflecting pool, a water wall, an arc of columns, a private gathering space and lots of colorful glass.
