Here are the businesses offered millions for Camden move

Since 2013, the New Jersey Economic Development Authority has offered more than $1 billion in fiscal incentives to companies in exchange for moving to Camden.

CAMDEN -- Massive trucks hauled scrap along well-worn roads in the city's industrial riverfront section. Downtown, helicopters buzzed off rooftops and motorists created considerable gridlock by midday. Elsewhere around various other corners of Camden, people simply went to work.

Under job retention programs such as Grow New Jersey and the perks of the 2013's Economic Opportunity Act, the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA) has approved more than $1 billion in tax breaks since 2013 to companies in exchange for a relocation to Camden.

"Camden is in the midst of an inspiring renaissance," the NJEDA's Camden Economic Recovery Board states.

What cost does that renaissance come at, though?

From $260 million awarded to Holtec International to $3 million that was on the table to help Plastics International, data provided by New Jersey Policy Perspective shows a combined $1.1 billion approved from between 2013 to this year.

However, the awards carry many stipulations and aren't forked over in lump sums.

"While the board's approval represents the opportunity for a project to realize tax credits, companies and developers must then prove that they have satisfied specific legislative requirements before they receive any funds," NJEDA development authority board chair Al Koeppe wrote in an editorial published by NJ Advance Media.

"Since all of the programs were designed by the N.J. Legislature to be performance-based, this means that approved projects must first generate new tax revenue, complete capital investments and/or hire or retain employees to receive the approved benefits," Koeppe continued.

Below are the top tax break recipients to receive a fiscal incentive from the NJEDA. The fiscal data was provided by the New Jersey Policy Perspective, which has continued to criticize the awards and the overall estimated economic benefit to the state each project could bring.
