The city of Aurora is asking citizens of the community to weigh-in on what they believe should be the future of the Century 16 theater, which a month ago was the site of one of the deadliest mass shootings in U.S. history.

An online survey has been created that asks people to give their thoughts on what should be the future of the theater, officials with the city will then share those comments with Cinemark for consideration in the decision-making process.

“Cinemark asked for assistance from the city in gathering feedback from the community,” said Aurora spokeswoman Kim Stuart, in regard to the survey which will accept responses through Aug. 31.

Phone calls seeking comment from officials with Cinemark were not returned.

On July 20, James Holmes is alleged to have opened gunfire in a theater showing the midnight premiere of the new Batman movie “The Dark Knight Rises,” killing 12 and leaving more than 50 injured. He faces 24 counts of murder and 116 counts of attempted murder in the assault.

Since the shooting, the theater has been left vacant and a large fence has blocked off much of its parking lot.
