Mayor Cherelle Parker said she will present a legislative package to City Council for approval on a new 76ers arena to be developed in Center City.

The 9-0 vote came after a meeting that saw property owners express competing opinions about the nomination.

Billed as a “listening session,” the town hall event drew nearly 1,000 people to the Pennsylvania Convention Center.

The meeting comes as the team negotiates with the administration, and opponents ramp up efforts to defeat the development.

Most of the building’s tenants have moved out. Those who remain are hopeful a judge will approve the sale.
