PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Philadelphia officials say they are launching an independent study on the impact the Sixers' proposed arena would have on Center City. Many in the bordering community of Chinatown strongly oppose the $1 billion project.

But other groups say the arena will only boost that area of Philadelphia.

The mayor said that given the size and scope of the project, it's too early to know the specific impacts the proposed arena will have. That's why the city is stepping in and hoping to learn more.
