The committee will assess Chinatown's needs and challenges, which leaders say will inform how the group responds to future development proposals.Dan Tsao, who owns Metro Chinese Weekly and co-chairs the new committee, tells Axios the group won't endorse or oppose the project until they better understand the possible implications or benefits for the neighborhood.
"It's a double-edged sword. One edge can help you, the other edge can hurt you," he said. "We want to listen and hear what the 76ers have to offer."Adelman has offered to negotiate incentives as part of a community-benefits agreement that could provide aid to businesses, improve security and finance construction projects to make the arena more attractive.
