Members of POWER Interfaith raised a number of concerns with the deal that would keep the Sixers in the city until 2061.

For decades, AMI has shaped affordable housing programs in the city. Some advocates think the measure misses the mark and should be localized.

The antitrust measure is designed to help tenants with low-incomes to stay housed.

The agreement, which would keep the Sixers in Philly until at least 2061, was announced Wednesday during a hastily called news conference.

The one-year fellowship is operated by the Philadelphia Energy Authority with funding from the state.

The building, which dates back to 1914 and was used to store and ship goods, will now be home to a CubeSmart self-storage facility.

The state has nearly 100,000 fewer housing units than it needs. Experts say federal policy could help close the gap.

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.

The $1.55 billion development requires enabling legislation for demolition and construction to start. The team says it needs those approvals by the end of the year.
