Since I have visited several temples in the USA and Canada and also keep a close eye on temple locations and progress of temples being built, I was very surprised at the Meridian, Idaho announcement. My first step was to locate all Stake Centers in Meridian to get an idea where it might be located. The first location was West of the Meridian West Stake Center between W. Cherry Lane and W. Ustick Road on N. Black Cat Road. There happens to be an open field about the same size as the Boise Temple plot. Next guess was to create a new Stake in Meridian and put it by the Ten Mile Interchange probably the Southeast corner. My reasoning is that a lot of Temples are placed by Stake Centers and are highly visible.
It is fun to think about but no matter where it is located it will be a great blessing to have two Temples in the valley.
