Incorporation as a Village
In 2020, 800 residents of the community petitioned the state of Wisconsin to become a village.[6] The Wisconsin Incorporation Review Board denied the petition's "characteristics of the territory" requirement as the petition included 2 separate areas: one in the vicinity of a roundabout of state highways WIS 57 and Wisconsin Highway 96 and another isolated area to the east of the Niagara Escarpment.[6] The second area is isolated from the first by the escarpment, a quarry and vacant lands.[6]
A revised proposal was approved on April 13, 2022.[7]
It is located at the intersection of Wisconsin Highways 57/32 and 96.[8] It uses ZIP code 54126.[9] Greenleaf has an area of 1.042 square miles (2.70 km2), all of it land. The community is part of the Green Bay Metropolitan Statistical Area.
