PITTSBURGH — The state of Pennsylvania is pledging $6.6 million toward redevelopment of Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life synagogue, where a gunman killed 11 people in 2018 in the nation’s deadliest attack on Jews.
Tree of Life Rabbi Jeffrey Myers, who survived the attack, said Monday that the state funding will help “transform this site that has been marked by horror .... into one full of hope, remembrance and education."
The money comes from the state’s Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program.
The synagogue was one of 16 community redevelopment projects statewide to receive a grant from the program.
