Fort Collins will soon be the site of a Mormon temple, despite objections to its construction from some local residents.
Mormon leadership announced plans for the building on April 2 during a semiannual conference of Latter-day Saints church members.
“When (they) announced that they would build a temple in Fort Collins, my family jumped up and we yelled because we were so excited,” said Saundra Royer, a Mormon CSU food science & human nutrition senior.
