The company will invest $258,000 and create 69 new jobs, ESD said.
SUNY Broome Community College is its academic sponsor.
START-UP NY is Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s offer to new or expanding companies and business ventures to operate completely tax-free in areas on or connected to SUNY campuses.
Southern Tier Technologies designs, develops and manufactures power equipment for process industries to “control costs, reduce emissions [and] energy use and improve safety,” per the release.
The company’s first product designed and manufactured “completely” in its facility is called power factor correction (PFC).
PFC is designed to reduce customers’ electricity bills by eliminating reactive energy charges.
