News summary

The New Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA) has released renderings of a potential Philadelphia 76ers arena along Camden's waterfront, envisioning a state-of-the-art facility with open spaces, housing, and retail areas. New Jersey is offering nearly $1 billion in incentives, including $400 million in tax credits, to lure the team from Philadelphia, where plans for a new downtown arena have faced significant local opposition. State and city leaders in Pennsylvania assert that the arena should remain in Philadelphia. The Sixers, whose lease at the Wells Fargo Center expires in 2031, find New Jersey's proposal compelling but continue to negotiate with Philadelphia officials. NJEDA CEO Tim Sullivan emphasized the economic benefits for Camden, including job creation and neighborhood revitalization. The decision remains pending, with Philadelphia officials under increasing pressure to finalize their plans for the team.
