Church reveals locations for temples in Idaho, New Mexico and Colorado

Maps showing the locations of three new temples in Idaho, Colorado and New Mexico were released Wednesday by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

The three temples in the western United States — Burley, Idaho; Farmington, New Mexico; and Grand Junction, Colorado — were announced by President Russell M. Nelson at the end of last April’s general conference.

Detailed design plans for these temples are still being developed. Project leaders will soon start working with city officials in these locations on preliminary plans for the temples. Groundbreaking dates have not been set, according to a news release.

Where will the Burley Idaho Temple be built?

The Burley Idaho Temple will be constructed on a 10.1-acre site located at 40 South and 150 East. Plans show a two-story temple of approximately 38,600 square feet.
