1. 22 weekend events: Sloss City, Fall Plant Sale + more Sept. 17–20 (bhamnow.com) — Hoover residents can lace up Saturday morning for the Head Over Teal 5K and 10K at The Preserve, supporting gynecologic cancer research and patient services through the Laura Crandall Brown Foundation. After the race, families can enjoy fall-themed activities, food, and drinks, alongside many other Birmingham-area festivals, concerts, and markets happening throughout the Sept. 17–20 weekend.
2. ALDOT warns of upcoming nightly ramp closures along I-459 in Hoover (wbrc.com) — Overnight entrance and exit ramp closures are coming soon to a 3.2‑mile stretch of I‑459 in Hoover, with work happening from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. on multiple dates through October. Drivers are urged to plan ahead and use SR‑150 between US‑31 and Exit 10 as an alternate route while ALDOT resurfaces the interstate, a project expected to finish by spring 2027.
3. September 17, 2026 (birminghamtimes.com) — Hoover residents should know that HVAC and equipment upgrades for Hoover City Schools, including Spain Park High School and Hoover Hall, are now complete and entering final settlement, with any claims needing prompt filing. The legal notices section also includes an abandoned vehicle sale at Long‑Lewis Ford on John Hawkins Parkway and multiple regional bid opportunities that could interest local contractors and job seekers.
4. Eagles' struggles continue in home loss to Hoover (shelbycountyreporter.com) — Hoover High's Bucs rolled to a dominant 59–13 road win over Oak Mountain, powered by big rushing plays and multiple long touchdown drives.
