The Fort Lauderdale Florida Temple is a planned temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to be constructed in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The announcement was made by President Thomas S. Monson on October 3, 2009, during the church's semi-annual General Conference.[5] The temple was announced concurrently with the Brigham City Utah Temple, the Concepción Chile Temple, the Fortaleza Brazil Temple and the Sapporo Japan Temple; together, they bring the total number of temples worldwide to 151. It will be the second temple constructed in Florida and the first in the heavily populated southern part of the state. The Orlando Florida Temple, the only other LDS temple in the state, was constructed in 1994.
No announcement as to the temple's planned location or construction schedule has been made.
