New temples for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Orem and Taylorsville will have some things in common: They both will be three stories tall, 70,000 square feet and close to freeways.
Church officials unveiled locations Wednesday for temples in those Utah cities, the planning for which was announced in October by church President Russell M. Nelson.
The single-spire Orem Temple will be built on a 16-acre site near 1471 S. Geneva Road, just west of Interstate 15 from Utah Valley University’s campus. A 20,000-square-foot meetinghouse also will be built there.
