The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has announced the location of the Washington County Utah Temple.

The temple, which was announced in October 2018 by Church President Russell M. Nelson, will be built on a 14-acre site located northeast of 3000 East 1580 South in St. George, Utah. Plans call for a three-story temple of approximately 88,000 square feet.

This will be the city’s second temple. The St. George Utah Temple, which was dedicated in 1877, closed November 4, 2019 for an extensive renovation. The temple is expected to reopen sometime in 2022.

Detailed design plans for the Washington County Utah Temple are still being developed. Further information — including interior and exterior renderings — will be made public later.
