The Jewish Federation of Greater Harrisburg is getting a new home.

It announced on Friday its offer has been accepted to purchase the 6.5-acre Dixon University Center campus that now houses the headquarters for Pennsylvania’s State System of Higher Education. It plans to change the name to the Alexander Grass Campus for Jewish Life.

“We are just ecstatic,” said Jennifer Ross, the federation’s president and CEO. “The campus gives us a footprint to serve many more people in our community, and it allows us to better fulfill our respective organizational missions in collaboration with one another.”

Under the federation’s ownership, it will serve as a hub for Jewish life in Harrisburg, centralizing and elevating the services and resources of the region’s Jewish community.
