Greenleaf and Caldwell News: Mid-September 2026 Update

This is a busy, productive stretch for Greenleaf and Caldwell. The town's irrigation season winds down Friday, September 25, a community meeting follows on September 30, and Caldwell keeps growing with new development, a landmark airport anniversary, and a rodeo lease that locks in the tradition for another half century. For anyone living at 20602 Academy Rd, here is what is happening close to home.

Greenleaf's Irrigation Season Ends Friday, September 25

The City of Greenleaf has announced that the 2026 municipal irrigation season ends the morning of Friday, September 25. It is one of those quiet seasonal markers that define life in an agricultural community: lawns and gardens wind down, fields turn golden, and the town settles into autumn. If you are at 20602 Academy Rd, the fully fenced yard with automatic irrigation has had a great season, and the fire pit is ready for the cooler evenings ahead.

Greenleaf Community Meeting: Wednesday, September 30

The City of Greenleaf hosts a community meeting on Wednesday, September 30 covering local matters, with this session focused on the community's feral cat discussion. It is a chance to hear town updates, share input, and connect with neighbors, and exactly the kind of small-town civic life that draws people to Greenleaf. Check the City of Greenleaf website for the time and location.

Caldwell Executive Airport Turns 50

Caldwell Executive Airport (KEUL) celebrated its 50th anniversary earlier this month with a fly-in and family-friendly activities on Saturday, September 5. The airport anchors general aviation in the western Treasure Valley and supports agriculture, business travel, and flight training across the county. It is a reminder that Greenleaf's quiet rural setting sits right next to a region with real infrastructure and opportunity.

Travel Note: I-84 Overnight Closures at 10th Avenue, Caldwell

The Idaho Transportation Department will close 10th Avenue under I-84 for three nights starting Wednesday, September 23. The 10th Avenue eastbound on- and off-ramps close Wednesday night and the westbound ramps close Thursday night while crews work. If you commute toward Nampa or Boise from Greenleaf, plan a five-minute detour around the ramps on those evenings.

Caldwell Night Rodeo Lease Extended Through 2076

The Caldwell Night Rodeo, which celebrated its 102nd edition at D&B Supply Arena in August, will keep calling Caldwell home for decades to come: the city and organizers have extended the rodeo's lease through 2076. For a small town minutes from the arena, that means a signature summer tradition, the crowds it draws, and the western heritage it celebrates are secured for the long run.

Silverleaf: Nearly 1,000 Homes Approved South of Karcher Road

The Caldwell City Council this year approved Silverleaf, a roughly 220-acre mixed-use subdivision south of Karcher Road with nearly 1,000 homes planned, along with commercial land and open space. It is part of the steady, thoughtful growth reshaping the west end of the Treasure Valley, and it reinforces why communities like Greenleaf remain desirable: new amenities, services, and jobs close by, while the small-town pace at home stays intact. That balance is exactly what makes a property like 20602 Academy Rd appealing.

Fall Is Officially Arriving

Between the irrigation cutoff, the community meeting, and the harvest events opening this month, September is doing what it does best in Greenleaf. Apple Days at Cherry Hill Farms lands October 23-24, and the full fall calendar is filling up. From 20602 Academy Rd, the fire pit, the fenced yard, and a producing peach tree make it easy to enjoy the season right at home while everything the Treasure Valley offers stays minutes away.
