BREAKING TEMPLE NEWS: Location Confirmed and Exterior Rendering Released for the Tallahassee Florida Temple

Hello again, everyone! Within the last hour or so, the Newsroom has shared the announcement of the location and rendering for the Tallahassee Florida Temple. That temple, one of 3 in the United States to be announced in April of last year, will be located at 2440 Papillon Way in Tallahassee. The temple is planned to be a single-story edifice of approximately 29,000 square feet.  The design includes a domed cupola, atop which a single spire will be featured. And yet again, no angel Moroni has been included with the design of this Nelsonian-era temple.

In looking at the temple's size in comparison to the timing within which similiarly-sized temples have seen construction begin, I'd say to look for construction on this temple to begin in the mid-to-latter part of this year (probably somewhere between April-August). And the fact that it has had a rendering released would technically put that temple ahead of the Lindon Utah Temple in the queue (since only a site location and preliminary details have been noted on that temple). So now there is yet another reason for me to revise my previously-offered thoughts contained in the temple documents which I keep.

Look for that in the coming days. In the interim, here is an updated look at the data on the temples for which no information has been officially released yet. Given that we are still in mid-January of this year, I have no doubt there is much more to come this year. And that's not exclusively true of temples being built here in the United States. I wouldn't rule out the prospect of some major announcements being made to help clear the queue of more temples outside the United States in the near future.

As I am able to revise the information in the files I keep on temples, you can be sure I will be passing those updates along to you all here. That does it for now.
