On 25th January 2010, President Thomas S. Monson, prophet of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (also called the LDS or Mormon Church), announced that a Mormon temple is planned for the city of Payson, Utah. The new temple will help relieve the pressure of use on the nearby Provo Utah Temple.
The city of Payson is south of the Provo-Orem area, Springville and Spanish Fork, along the I-15 freeway. The proposed temple site is on the south-west of Payson, near the I-15 highway, and when the building is completed, the temple district will encompass an area serving almost 80,000 members of the Mormon Church.
There are currently 14 other temples in operation and announced throughout the state of Utah.
