I saw this somewhere earlier - maybe heard it on the radio or podcast - and was pleased it was for Nicola and not the car - which has been in the news as a possible fail lately.
They should just haul all that crap out of Edison's Menlo Park museum and use that space too. Most were Tesla's ideas anyways.
Looks and sounds very worthwhile - I wish them much success.

Suburban NY group buys Nikola Tesla property after successful crowd funding effort
MINEOLA, N.Y. (AP) — A New York community group that raised $1.3 million in a six-week Internet crowd funding effort last year has purchased a laboratory once used by visionary scientist Nikola Tesla.
Jane Alcorn is president of the Tesla Science Center at Wardenclyffe on Long Island. Her group bought the Tesla lab and property last week for $850,000.
Tesla was a rival of Thomas Edison who imagined a world of free electricity. He conducted experiments in the early 20th century at his laboratory in Shoreham, about 65 miles east of New York City.
Volunteers had struggled for nearly two decades to acquire the property. They got a jolt of support last year when Seattle cartoonist Matthew Inman promoted the effort on his website, theoatmeal.com.
Within weeks, they had $1.3 million.
