DeWitt, N.Y. -- A startup technology company that moved into a $100 million factory built by New York taxpayers in DeWitt five years ago and received more than $13 million in state grants has gone out of business.
NexGen Power Systems closed down and laid off its workers shortly before Christmas. The shutdown was so sudden, a Christmas tree in the lobby of the huge facility in Collamer Crossing Business Park remained lighted on Wednesday afternoon despite the building being devoid of people.
