TOOELE The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has chosen a new location and a different name for its temple in Tooele County, after considering current circumstances and opportunities, officials announced Tuesday.
The temple, previously named the Tooele Valley Utah Temple, will now be called the Deseret Peak Utah Temple. Additionally, it will be built at the intersection of 2400 North and 400 West in Tooele, as opposed to its previous location at the intersection of Erda Way and Highway 36 in Erda.
Tuesday s announcement comes months after residents gathered hundreds of signatures for a referendum to rezone the construction site and not allow homes to be built surrounding the temple.
