On 26 April 2021, an official exterior rendering was released for the Lindon Utah Temple, via the Church updating the original news article announcing the location.^[3]“Location Revealed for Lindon Utah Temple.” newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org, 21 Dec. 2020, newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org/article/lindon-temple-location.

The groundbreaking of the Lindon Utah Temple was presided over by Elder Kevin W. Pearson, Utah Area president, on 23 April 2022. The chilly weather brought the event inside a nearby chapel, but the symbolic turning of the dirt was still held outdoors.

In his dedicatory prayer on the site, Elder Pearson said, “Bless those who labor here, that they may feel the eternal significance of what they are building and be blessed and protected as they labor in its construction. … May the construction of Thy holy house here in Lindon continue to bless this community with peace, love and unity.”^[5]”Ground Broken for Lindon Utah Temple,” The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints News Release, 23 Apr. 2022.

The temple will be constructed near the intersection of 800 East and Center Street in Lindon, Utah.

Plans call for a three-story temple of approximately 87,005 square feet
