KISSIMMEE, Fla. — A Pulse nightclub memorial is set to be built in Osceola County next month.

County commissioner Cheryl Grieb says there will be a groundbreaking ceremony on June 12 in NeoCity.

She also confirmed that the memorial is a 49-foot structure that will honor the 49 lives that were lost.

The commissioner did not release any more information about the project, stating in an email "we are not releasing any additional details at this time."

The announcement is coming as a surprise to survivor Orlando Torres, who had no idea Osceola County was working on a memorial.

"We never had any clue the Osceola County was having this in mind," said Torres. "There was no signs or signals of anything that they were preparing or planning it. I don't know when they came with their though of creating a memorial for us."

A mother of one of the victims, Christine Leinonen, is looking forward to the structure going up that will in part remember her son Christopher.

"There isn't anything that comes close to losing my son," she said. "So to have something so easy and so dignified (...) it's past time."

Other survivors, though, feel blindsided and frustrated.

"I've never heard of that particular county coming up to do anything before," said Tiana Parker. "How are we here now? It's really confusing and it's frustrating because it is bringing up so many different emotions that is honestly taking us back to a time that we don't need to be in."

Kimberly McGraw who lost her niece, and spoke for her sister, held a similar opinion.

"It's almost like 'wow' we would have liked to have the decency as the intimate, the immediate family, to get braced before it just hits," she said. "And for it to be within 30 days."

The city of Orlando is still working on its own Pulse memorial site.

Mayor Buddy Dyer said he would like a permanent memorial built by the 10th anniversary of the Pulse terror attack, which would be June 2026.
