Lawsuit Blocking Heber Valley Temple Dismissed

On July 23, a 4th District judge dismissed a lawsuit that sough to block a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints temple in Heber City from being built. Sam Penrod, a spokesman for the church, shared in a statement, “since the temple site plan was approved by Wasatch County nearly two years ago, the church has paused moving forward with any construction, while the judicial system reviewed the public process. Now the court has ruled that Wasatch County followed the law in approving the Heber Valley Temple, the church is looking forward to next steps in beginning construction.” The Heber Valley Temple was announced in 2021 and will be built just outside of Heber City.
