History

[edit]

The intent to construct the temple was announced by church president Thomas S. Monson on April 2, 2017, during the 187th annual general conference.[citation needed] When it was completed, it was the 14th temple in Utah.[4]

On May 7, 2019, the church announced preliminary information on the temple's anticipated location and size.[5][6][7] A groundbreaking, to signify beginning of construction, was held on October 19, 2019, with Craig C. Christensen, president of the church's Utah Area, presiding.[8][9]

On November 21, 2022, the LDS Church announced that a public open house would be held from April 15 through July 8, 2023, excluding Sundays.[10] The temple was dedicated on August 13, 2023, by Henry B. Eyring, of the church's First Presidency.[11]
