Site Work Progress Amid Hazy Skies at the Provo Utah Rock Canyon Temple
Site work is advancing at the Provo Utah Rock Canyon Temple beneath the hazy skies created by a developing smoke plume from the Eureka Iron Fire. Landscape gravel has been placed in the perimeter planting beds at the rear corner of the property, and significant progress is evident on the retaining wall system above the east parking area. Meanwhile, crews are steadily installing stone cladding across the temple's lower walls.
Temporary Welcome Center Opens at the Fairview Texas Temple Site
During the construction of the Fairview Texas Temple, visitors are invited to learn about the project and the purpose of temples at a temporary on-site Welcome Center. Construction of the temple commenced earlier this year following a groundbreaking ceremony held in February. The Fairview Town Council approved plans for a revised version of the temple following discussions with Church representatives that resulted in a reduction of the proposed steeple height from 174 feet to 120 feet. More recently, the mayor has asked the Church to consider a further reduction in the steeple's height to better reflect Fairview's small-town character.
