History
editThe intent to construct a temple was announced by church president Russell M. Nelson on October 1, 2023, during the church's general conference.[5][6]
The location of the temple, on a 15.11 acre site at SE 20th Street and SE Bybee Road, which straddles the border of Camas and Vancouver, was announced on February 26, 2024.[7] The church announced the temple would be multistory and approximately 43,000 square feet.[8] The site is located in a primarily undeveloped area about 1/3 mile from a residential area.
On September 3, 2024, the church released a rendering of the temple.[9]
