LDS temple will put dual ‘gems’ in Brigham City 0
The planned LDS temple in Brigham City will be an “architectural gem across the street from an architectural gem,” according to the city’s economic-development boss.
The city’s Planning Commission earlier this month gave the nod to the new temple, which is to be built across Main Street from downtown’s historic Box Elder Tabernacle.
A groundbreaking is expected this summer, and construction should be under way soon after that, said Paul Larsen, director of community and economic development. The temple was announced during the Utah-based faith’s General Conference last October.
