According to HTCC's published history, land purchase was completed in 1994. Plans for Phase I were finalized by 1999, a construction permit was approved in late 2001, and the first phase was constructed in 2002. Deities were installed in the Phase I worship room in February 2003.
The temple has continued to develop as a community institution. HTCC's current materials describe ongoing development and programs serving religious and cultural needs in the region.
