A New Jersey energy firm could get $260 million in tax credits for argeeing to move some of its operations to Camden. The application from Holtec International, which is currently based elsewhere in South Jersey, was made public in an agenda for a Thursday meeting of the state’s Economic Development Authority.

Holtec International makes components for power plants. Its founder and CEO is Krishna P. Singh, who has a building named after him at Penn. He has a doctorate in engineering (Penngineering) from the school.
