Also removing commas that do not correctly apply to temple names. Since the pages currently linked are specific to the temples in question, it makes no sense to list the location by city and state (or nation) when the links provided are for the temples rather than the location.).

Template:LDS Temple/McAllen Texas The McAllen Texas Temple is temple under construction of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

The intent to construct the temple was announced on 5 October 2019 by church president Russell M. Nelson in the Women's Session of the church's general conference. The announcement also included the Freetown Sierra Leone; Orem Utah; Port Moresby Papua New Guinea; Bentonville Arkansas; Bacolod Philippines; Cóban, Guatemala; and Taylorsville Utah temples.[1][2][3][4][5]

On December 11, 2019, the church announced that the temple will be built on a 10.6-acre site located on the northwest corner of Second Street and West Trenton Road in McAllen, Texas.[6] Plans call for a single-story temple of approximately 25,000 square feet, with a center spire.

Groundbreaking for the temple was held on November 21, 2020 and presided by Elder Art Rascon, an area seventy. [7]
