The grant will create a memorial space for the victims of the 2018 shooting, to be designed by Daniel Libeskind, who led the redesign of the World Trade Center.
Just over three years after the shooting that killed 11 people and wounded seven others, the state of Pennsylvania has agreed to award $6.6 million to Pittsburgh's Tree of Life synagogue for redevelopment of the area.
"Following the tragedy that occurred here, Pennsylvanians came together in solidarity to support the Tree of Life and the other congregations," Governor Tom Wolf said at a press conference Monday announcing the project."We continue to stand with you today as the Tree of Life community works to reimagine this space into a welcoming place of reflection, education and healing.
"We are tremendously thankful to Governor Wolf for this significant and generous investment in our effort to establish a new and reimagined space that serves not only our congregation but all of Tree of Life's neighbors and the broader community," Rabbi Jeffrey Myers said at the Monday press conference.
