SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Aug. 28, 2020 (Gephardt Daily) — The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has announced the site for Utah’s Syracuse Temple, and the groundbreaking dates for temples in Bentonville, Arkansas, and McAllen, Texas.
The Syracuse Utah Temple will be located on a 12-acre lot 2500 West and 1025 South, with most of the land to the west of that address. The lot is to the south and west of Syracuse High School.
The building of the Syracuse Temple was announced in April of this year.
“Plans call for a three-story temple of approximately 89,000 square feet,” the LDS Church statement says.
“An exterior rendering will be released later. A groundbreaking date has not been set.”
LDS Church leaders will break ground for the Bentonville Arkansas Temple in November 2020 and Elder David A. Bednar, a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, will preside over the ceremony remotely, the church statement says.
The McAllen Texas Temple groundbreaking ceremony also will take place in November 2020. Elder Arthur Rascon, an Area Seventy, will preside at the event.
