SYRACUSE, N.Y. — NexGen Power Systems moved one step closer to taking over empty space in DeWitt that New York state built to house a light bulb maker.

The space NexGen is looking to occupy is an 82,000-square-foot building at 50 Collamer Crossing Parkway originally built, with $90 million in state taxpayer money, to host Soraa, a maker of LED lighting. That company, also based in California, eventually pulled out of the project.
During the phone call, Ramanathan said Empire State Development had approved a $15 million grant for NexGen’s project.
