Temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

On Tuesday, February 10, the Colorado Springs City Council approved plans for the construction of the Colorado Springs Colorado Temple in a unanimous 8-0 vote. Opposition to the proposal was heard from residents who objected to the all-night lighting of the spire. However, an attorney for the Church explained that the spire would not be reflective and that 98% of the light would be absorbed, offering a welcoming atmosphere. Dozens of public comments and hundreds of letters in support of the project were also received by the Council.

The official exterior rendering of the Colorado Springs Colorado Temple has been published. The 45,000-square-foot temple will be constructed on a 18.6-acre site located south of the intersection of Flying Horse Club Drive and Barossa Valley Road in the Northgate neighborhood of Colorado Springs. Plans also call for a meetinghouse and grounds maintenance building to be constructed.
