The intent to construct the temple was announced by church president Thomas S. Monson on April 2, 2017, during the 187th annual general conference. When completed, it will be the 18th temple in Utah.[1]

On May 7, 2019, the church announced preliminary information on the temple's anticipated location and size.[2][3][4] 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.[5][6]

On November 21, 2022, the LDS Church announced that a public open house is scheduled to be held from April 15 through July 8, 2023, excluding Sundays. The temple is scheduled for dedication on August 13, 2023, with Henry B. Eyring, of the church's First Presidency, expected to preside.[7]
