Hello again, everyone! Following a one-week hiatus in which no new temple updates were reported, the First Presidency has released information about the site location and initial details for the Lone Mountain Nevada Temple. As noted above, I will update this report as time and circumstances allow today. I also continue to monitor all other temple updates and Church news reports and will be sure to bring word thereof to you here ASAP.
Note: As I mentioned above, an initial version of this post was published at around 2; with subsequent analysis shared throughout the afternoon and evening as time allowed.
I am pleased to now be able to share a more detailed analysis of today's development. The Church noted today that the 87,000-square-foot three-story edifice will rise southwest of Hickman Avenue between North Grand Canyon Drive and Tee Pee Lane in Las Vegas, Nevada. With this being the second temple for the Nevadan capital city, the temple named for Lone Mountain is set to be 6,650 square feet larger than its' original counterpart.
The larger size of the Lone Mountain Nevada Temple and the fact that the Las Vegas Nevada Temple has not closed for renovation since it was originally dedicated in 1989, which was 3 decades ago. And, of course, as with any other temple announcement, today's announcement will impact the order and timing whereby temples with confirmed locations might subsequently see groundbreakings occur. I will have my revised thoughts on the timing of future temple events ASAP.
In the meantime, that does it for now. All comments are, as always, welcome and appreciated on any post at any time, as long as the offered feedback is made per the established guidelines.
