The Brigham City Utah Temple is a planned temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints under construction in Brigham City, Utah. The announcement was made by President Thomas S. Monson on October 3, 2009, during the church's semi-annual General Conference.[3] The temple was announced concurrently with the Concepción Chile Temple, the Fort Lauderdale Florida Temple, the Fortaleza Brazil Temple and the Sapporo Japan Temple; together, they bring the total number of temples worldwide to 151. It will also be the fourteenth temple in Utah.
The temple will be located on the property where the Central Elementary School once stood at 250 South Main Street in Brigham City, across from the historic Tabernacle.[4]
A groundbreaking ceremony was held on July 31, 2010 and was conducted by Elder Boyd K. Packer.[5]
As of mid-May 2011, installation of the exterior wall panels to the Brigham City Utah Temple is underway.[6]
On the morning of June 28, 2011, the western spire was installed.
The angel Moroni statue was installed on the eastern tower on July 12, 2011. The installing was delayed for almost two hours due to weather problems.
Construction on the interior is expected to begin by the end of summer of 2011.
