In the wake of the mass shooting at the Century 16 Theater in July, the City of Aurora last month conducted a survey asking its residents what should be done with the theater. According to yesterday’s report from 9News, a majority of that poll’s respondents believed that the theater should be reopened. In response, theater owner Cinemark today announced its plans to renovate and eventually reopen the Century 16 cineplex.
From the Aurora Sentinel:
The company that owns and operates the theater where a gunman killed 12 people and injured 58 others says it will reopen the venue.
A letter obtained by The Associated Press Friday from Cinemark President and CEO Tim Warner to the city says the theater will be re-configured and ready to reopen by the beginning of 2013.
Aurora Mayor Steve Hogan in a letter asked Cinemark to refurbish and reopen the theater based on request from victims and victim’s advocates.
That a majority of city residents and others affected by this tragedy want the theater reopened as means of moving on, it would seem, gave Cinemark the quarter it needed to answer one of the uncomfortable questions that has lingered since July.
