The Pulse Memorial Advisory Committee held its first two meetings last month.

At this meeting, the group plans to pick up where it left off and finish discussing its mission and vision for the former nightclub.

A mass shooting claimed 49 lives there in 2016.

The committee will eventually need to discuss the design phase of the project.

So far, no design plans are fully in motion.

During the last meeting, the committee held a public open house made up of four sections.

Each table represented what the community wanted to see erected in Pulse’s honor.

Ideas ranged from tranquil parks with water features, to educational elements celebrating the 49 who died and the survivors.

Wednesday’s meeting begins at 4 p.m. and ends at 8 p.m.
