[2] In an effort to honor the 49 victims and to memorialize the location surrounding the Pulse Nightclub building, the City of Orlando dedicated $4,518 to erect a barrier fence to fulfill this purpose.

[3] In the end, Pulse Nightclub owner, Barbara Poma, cited personal and emotional connection to the site as the main reasons as to why she chose not to sell the property.

The decision was made as a collective group, with consideration in mind to the over 2,300 comments that were submitted from the victims' families, survivors, and the community with recommendations for memorial concepts.

A separate museum would be located at 438 West Kaley Street, Orlando, FL 32806, and would be erected in a shape representing a growing flower.

[6] The plans have received some criticism from survivors and families of victims for being too large and expensive,[17] as well as due to unpermitted renovations and code violations documented at the nightclub at the time of the shooting.
