Nashville Votes To Rename Its Airport, “Dolly Parton!”

Nashville International Airport is set to be renamed to honor Dolly Parton after a unanimous vote by the local airport authority.

Once the effort clears all the hurdles, it will make Nashville one of the few major cities in the country with an airport named after a woman.

The Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority Board of Commissioners, which oversees the airports, approved the name change in a 6-to-0 vote during a meeting on Friday.

In a statement, the authority said that “a final name has not yet been determined” and that the vote was the first step in a “multifaceted process.”
