The property sits at a major intersection, surrounded by dense tropical vegetation and low-rise residential development. Current efforts are focused on site preparation and foundation work, with safety fencing enclosing active construction areas.

Visitors' Center Trailer Removed from the Fort Worth Texas Temple Site

With construction of the Fort Worth Texas Temple nearing completion, the visitors' center trailer has been permanently removed, and the area where it once stood is being restored to its natural state. Moving trucks are delivering furniture and furnishings for the interior of the adjacent meetinghouse, while crews continue site improvements, including the installation of final curbing and grass sod along Southwest Hulen Street. No dates have been announced yet for the open house.

Preliminary Site Preparations for the Missoula Montana Temple

Preparatory work is underway at the Missoula Montana Temple site ahead of next month’s groundbreaking ceremony. The property has been fenced off, and heavy equipment is actively clearing and grading the land in preparation for construction. Recent rainfall and low clouds over the surrounding mountains created a dramatic backdrop as crews continued earthmoving operations across the property for the future temple.
