The Las Vegas property where 59 people were killed and hundreds more injured in the deadliest shooting in modern U.S. history is going to be converted into a community center.

MGM Resorts, which owns the property known as the Village, announced on Tuesday that the company plans to build a community and athletic center on the north end of the site that housed the Route 91 Harvest country music festival before the mass shooting on Oct. 1, 2017.

"We know that for many, the Village property will forever be linked to the tragic loss of life that took place there," the company said in a statement."We will never forget the victims, and all of those impacted by that evening." The center will serve as a home to sporting events and community gatherings, according to MGM, which said the conception of the space was born from a commitment to"being part of the community effort to continue healing and moving forward."

The company intends for the space to host events like high school basketball tournaments and indoor soccer for children. "It was important to us that the long-term use of the property include the community in some way," the statement said.While the plans are underway, according to MGM, the site will serve as a parking area during games and concerts at Allegiant Stadium, the home of the NFL's Raiders beginning in 2020.

Lessons learnt from this massacre: 1. The shooter was a “good guy with gun” 2. A law abiding citizen. 3. No prior History of violence. 4. Acquired guns legally.

How about getting to the bottom of what really happened? We have been lied to by law enforcement, FBI, and MGM.

A scary site for people event. The republican gun lovers piled up that many bodies in 19.. The country suffers a mass pile up of gun killed victims over 32,000 bodies each year. Mad trump and his gangs are still the cold blooded humans.

U can believe that the Athletic Ctr will charge big $ 2 use the weights/membership. Real slick move MGM Resorts. Capitalism w/ a Heart.

It's the real free country where everybody has the right to get guns. so funny.

Some people are getting away with mass murders in our country.

Gonna be a haunted ass community center.

What do you classify as 'modern U.S. history'? Is that your way of ignoring all the 'deadly U.S. shootings' where the govt killed hundreds of thousands of Native American men, women, and children?

weird flex but okay

Part of it is going to be a community center. The rest of it is going to be paid parking, for Aligent Stadium. MGM wants peoples money, and does not care about the survivors, or victims.

my believe is that, this particular govt of the country love what is happening to her people. United state govt can fix this sporadic issues or maybe they are gaining or achieve something out of it. May be soul of the victims rest in peace.

Nice pic you put up 🙄

Box truck. France stunned after truck attacker kills 84 on Bastille Day in Nice

can we please stop using these pictures when talking about it. shit, I know people who were there and these pictures remind us all and it’s so unsettling.

Still never going back to Vegas till they show us 'how and why' For some reason this is one of the biggest cover ups ever, a Community Center, feel good moment but no truth....

Will Vegas still hold music festivals?

So is it a community center or parkling lot?
