(Shelby Tauber | Special to The Tribune) The lot where a proposed temple for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints may be built in Fairview, Texas, is photographed in May 2024. A meetinghouse for the faith is already located nearby. Town and church representatives recently came to a compromise on a structure that is smaller than the one originally pitched, but still bigger than the parameters set by town ordinances.
