Pulse nightclub property to be purchased by city of Orlando and turned into a memorial

FILE - Brandon Wolf, a survivor of the Pulse nightclub shooting and activist, looks at the photos that are a part of the Pulse memorial in Orlando, Fla., on Sept. 9, 2022. The city of Orlando plans to purchase the gay nightclub property where 49 people were massacred seven years ago, in what at the time was the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history, with the intention of building a memorial for the victims, Mayor Buddy Dyer said Wednesday, Oct. 18, 2023.

The efforts to build a memorial for Pulse victims had been moving ahead in fits and starts since the massacre at the gay nightclub in 2016. Barbara and Rosario Poma and businessman Michael Panaggio have owned the property, and Barbara Poma was the executive director of the onePulse Foundation — the nonprofit that had been leading efforts to build a memorial and museum. But Barbara Poma stepped down as executive director last year and left the organization entirely earlier this year.
