UGLY SWEATERS ARE RETAIL WINNERS PAGE 4B Avacant former Wal- mart store on a prime commercial corner in Sweden, just outside Brockport, will find new life next year as a Runnings store.

Runnings, a Minnesota-based outdoors-oriented retailer that bills itself as home, farm and outdoor is planning to open in the former store in Sweden Plaza as early as this spring. The company has a track record of reusing vacant spaces, as it did in 2014, when Runnings remodeled a foot former Walmart on Routes 5 20 at County Road 10 in Hopewell, Ontario County. Company spokesman Dennis Jensen said the company began using vacant retail sites back in 2005, when it began to need larger buildings to house a wider selection of merchandise. He said so far 18 of 40 total stores have opened using formerly vacant retail stores. Jensen said Runnings has already taken possession of the Sweden building and is in the midst of making interior renovations.

He said the store MEAGHAN M. PHOTOGRAPHER The vacant former Walmart on a prime commercial corner in Sweden will soon open as a Runnings store. Outdoors store to fill ex-Walmart in Sweden MEAGHAN M. MCDERMOTT ALBANY A Boston- area company claims the SUNY Polytechnic Institute violated a research agreement by sharing proprietary information with members of the Rochester photonics institute. Acacia Communications Inc.

filed a civil lawsuit Monday against SUNY Poly and the SUNY Research Foundation, accusing them of sharing confidential company research with the AIM Pho- tonics members and ignoring demands to correct the situation. The suit asks the U.S. District Court in Albany to force SUNY Colleges of Nanoscale Science and Engineering and the Research Foundation to pay more than $75,000 in damages. It also seeks to force the SUNY Research Foundation to return $51,000 in grant money, which Acacia claims was meant to go toward research SUNY Poly never performed. information and belief, CNSE refused and failed to cease such publication or to remedy such breach, and continues to disclose confidential and proprietary information to members of AIM and the general the lawsuit reads.

The ongoing dispute led to Acacia, which produces high-speed optical devices, to back out of its research deal with the Albany- and Utica-based research college in July. Aspokesman for SUNY Poly declined comment Thursday. The legal challenge centers on SUNY lead role in the AIM Pho- tonics program, a $600 million joint federal-state manufacturing partnershipwith private companies to further the use of light to transmit information. AIM headquarters was awarded to the Rochester area last year. Since then, SUNY Poly has been rocked by a bid- rigging scandal that resulted in the resignation of founding President Alain Kaloyeros, who has been accused of steering lucrative, state-backed contracts in Buffalo, Syracuse and Albany to specific private developers.

The AIM Photonics program has continued, however, buoyed in part by the federal backing. The lawsuit, first reported by the Times Union of Albany, claims SUNY Poly shared confidential Acacia information in a guide presented to members of AIM Pho- tonics ahead of a quarterly meeting in April. The company claims it alerted SUNY Poly to the breach, but nothing was done to correct it. In July, the company backed out of its partnership with SUNY Poly, citing the apparent breach.
