HOLINESS TO THE LORD

Preliminary Development to Begin at the Yuma Arizona Temple Site

Preliminary utility and infrastructure work to support the future Yuma Arizona Temple will begin soon, following approvals from the City of Yuma. The approvals allow the Church to begin initial preparation work on the nearly 7-acre site, located at the corner of East 36th Street and South 8 East Avenue in Yuma. This includes grading and the installation of underground utility infrastructure such as water, sewer and electrical service connections to the city’s existing systems. Design work on the temple continues, and a date for an official groundbreaking ceremony has not yet been announced.

Exterior Cladding Advances Rapidly at the Fairbanks Alaska Temple

The Fairbanks Alaska Temple is taking shape rapidly as exterior cladding panels are installed across the structure, including the steeple. The accelerated progress reflects the temple's modular construction. The exterior finishes are beginning to conceal the structural framing and establish the building's finished appearance. Construction is also progressing on the meetinghouse and ancillary building that share the property, where roofing is now underway.

Structural Framing Rises for the Antananarivo Madagascar Temple

Construction of the Antananarivo Madagascar Temple is taking shape as structural framing rises from the completed foundation. The foundation has established the footprint of the 10,000-square-foot building, while framing is defining its structure. Foundations for the temple’s ancillary structures are also in place. The temple is rising alongside an existing Church meetinghouse on Lalana Général Andrimahazo in Antananarivo.
