“Osceola is planning on holding an official groundbreaking for June 12-- marking eight years since the nightclub shooting that killed 49-- and injured dozens of others,” said County commissioner chair Cheryl Grieb says that

Grieb says the county is still working on designs-- but they have decided the structure will be in NeoCity.
