What a Sixers Camden arena could look like

Driving the news: The independent New Jersey Economic Development Authority released a rendering Friday of a potential 76ers arena plan on the Delaware River waterfront.

Zoom in: Per the authority's concept, the arena could sit north of the Ben Franklin Bridge on the former site of a state prison beside Cooper's Poynt Park.

• The plan includes green space and multiuse buildings for housing, restaurants and office space, NJEDA CEO Tim Sullivan said in a statement.

What they're saying: Moving the team to Camden could "spur greater economic activity and a bustling, revitalized neighborhood," he said.

• 76 DevCo, the Sixers' developer on the arena project, did not immediately return a request for comment.

State of play: The Sixers' plans for a $1.5 billion arena in Philly's Market East neighborhood that was proposed more than two years ago is at a critical point.

• Mayor Cherelle Parker's administration is finishing required legislation for the project while holding town hall meetings on the arena.

• Parker has yet to weigh in on whether she supports or opposes the arena.

If Parker sends legislation to City Council, that will kick off high-stakes hearings and debates.

• A vote could be possible before the end of the year.

Behind the scenes: New Jersey's top officials recently pitched tax credits for the Sixers worth up to $800 million to relocate and build their new home court in Camden.

• Philly officials aren't offering any tax credits to the Sixers, but that could change.
