Plano, Texas to Get 4th LDS Chapel Since 1980
PLANO, TEXAS -- Membership growth in Plano, Texas has prompted the
LDS Church to build for the fourth time in about 20 years. The Plano
Stake held a groundbreaking ceremony Saturday, January 26th for the
new building, located on Los Rios Boulevard, across from Plano East
Senior High School. "We're getting to the point now where we have
second-, third-, and fourth-generation families attending church in
Plano," said Harold Richmond, Director of Public Affairs for the
stake. Plano currently has eight wards, the first of which was formed
in 1970, and eventually met in the first LDS building in the city,
built in 1980. The stake also has built a new building in nearby
Frisco, and an open house for that building is set for March 22nd and
23rd.
