The temple was announced on January 25, 2010, by church president Thomas S. Monson. The temple is located on the southernmost edge of Utah’s Wasatch Front, and is the 15th dedicated temple in the state. The Provo City Center and Cedar City temples, both under construction, will bring the total to 17 when they are completed.
