The four reports include a community impact assessment, an economic impact analysis, a design consulting, and a traffic, transportation, and parking analysis.
"We are sharing these detailed reports so that the public can better understand the implications of such a multifaceted proposed project for Philadelphia," Mayor Cherelle Park wrote in an online statement.
"That the Sixers bankrolled these studies, and failed to disclose that fact from the jump, says everything you need to know about their credibility. The economic analysis was completed by a consultant with a track record of faulty data and false projections in Philadelphia. The failure to calculate the financial cost of the arena to Chinatown, other neighborhoods, and existing businesses tells you how unserious and flawed this paperwork is.
"The impact study states that the Project may place additional stress on existing vulnerabilities. The summary of the study did not identify benefits to Chinatown," John Chin, executive director of the Philadelphia Chinatown Development Corporation, said in part on the study. He said he was not prepared to make a statement yet but in the past, Squilla said he could support the project.
