Remembrance - Resilience - Community
After years of hard work and effort, groundbreaking has taken place for the Forever One Memorial. This permanent memorial will honor those we lost on in 2017 and the response by the Las community in the aftermath of the worst mass shooting in modern U.S. History.
Clark County has been proud to support the process to make the memorial a reality. We created the 1 October Memorial Committee which solicited proposals and ultimately selected the proposed design for the memorial. The county has also provided financial assistance towards construction costs. Commission Chairman Michael Naft along with Commissioners Jim Gibson, Marilyn Kirkpatrick and William McCurdy represented Clark County at the groundbreaking.
The memorial is being built on two acres just off the Las Vegas strip where the tragedy happened during the Route 91 Harvest Festival. The goal is to have it open by October 1, 2028 - that will be 10 years after the attack.
The memorial will feature a Remembrance Ring, an open space with 58 vertical candles of light, one for each person who died on 1 October. In the time since, two others lost their lives as a result of injuries suffered that night and others have passed from physical and psychological wounds. The Forever One Memorial will include a special tribute to those individuals.
