Daily News | Yes, Chinatown and a new Sixers arena can each peacefully coexist
for the first time in decades. Assistance from the Sixers could be crucial in that effort.
Gould also promised that the arena would include opportunities for local merchants to increase their business, with promotions designed to get fans to patronize participating neighborhood restaurants and a portion of the arena’s concessions dedicated to local businesses. There’s also pledged support for historic overlays and other policy steps necessary to prevent chains, whether they are Chipotle or Mr. Wok, from eroding the neighborhood’s authenticity.
Gould stressed that the team is still listening and learning and that the Sixers intend to let Chinatown tell them what it needs, rather than presenting a plan and then adjusting to feedback. He also told me something I didn’t know, which is that the team had already begun the process of community outreach before announcing their proposal, a detail Chin and other community members confirmed.
