Marissa and Christian Burridge, who live in Daybreak, came to the information center to see if they could "upgrade" their home and move to the location where the temple will be built. Dow Webb, of Murray, said the announcement will strongly influence whether he moves into the Daybreak development or not.

"It's more like when, not if," he said. "This looks like a good investment to live here over the long run."

Others were not as positive.

Carol Cetraro, broker for Front Gate Properties, said the church made an "unintentional error" by announcing Daybreak as the location for the new temple versus just giving the name of a city or general street coordinates for the site. Front Gate has several properties in the southwest portion of the Salt Lake Valley.

"What they did was just give a free $10 million advertisement to Daybreak," said Cetraro. "A temple absolutely draws the people. I saw it happen in Draper firsthand, where the property values went up $100,000 a lot overnight. That became the place where everyone wanted to be, and it filled up fast.

"It is an inexcusable advantage to use (announce) a name like Daybreak."

Scott Baskett, of Millcreek, said building a new temple was like a "double-edged" sword for people who are not members of the LDS Church. He and his girlfriend are considering whether to buy a home together in the Daybreak development.

"We don't see anything else here but LDS worship facilities," said Baskett, who was at the Daybreak information center on Saturday. "Building a temple here will make this (area) have more of a Mormon-feel, and the non-LDS may be excluded to some degree."

Vicki Varela, an official with Kennecott Land Co., said she has had conversations with other groups about building worship sites at Daybreak.

Said Peter McMahon, president of Kennecott Land, in a statement: "We are pleased that the LDS Church has chosen our community as a temple site. We want Daybreak to be the type of community where a diversity of religious people will choose to house their sacred buildings."

It is expected that more information on the new Salt Lake Valley temples will be announced by the church at a later date.
