            • Document from July 2020 shows a Master Plan concept for consideration of Church Councils.
              • Outlines the goals of the master plan (Likely meant for decades in future)
              • Redevelopment of several church owned blocks around temple square. (proposes renaming temple square to be a world destination).
              • Focus on the universal themes, guest experience, outdoor event space, service opportunities, internal transportation, and sacred focal point around temple.
              • Includes the moving of church offices (Removal of COB, JSMB, CAB), physical moving of the Assembly Hall, and several bridges over the Salt Lake City Roads.
              • Concepts are meant to show vision, not any firm plans. Current work on temple square may alter the master plans.
