After considering current circumstances and opportunities, an alternate site for the temple has been selected. Previously known as the Tooele Valley Utah Temple, the new temple will be renamed the Deseret Peak Utah Temple.

The temple will be constructed west of the intersection of 2400 North 400 West in Tooele. The exterior and interior designs remain the same as depicted in previously released renderings. The three-story temple will be approximately 70,000 square feet. A new 20,000-square-foot meetinghouse will also be built on the site. Project leaders will immediately begin working with city officials on plans for the temple.
