Nashville Votes Unanimously to Rename the Airport in Honor of Dolly Parton

A few days ago, the Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority voted unanimously to rename Nashville International Airport in honor of Dolly Parton.

 

 

There used to be a policy in place which required a two-year waiting period before a building could be named after someone who had passed away.

 

 

But this vote bypassed that step.  It is Dolly after all.  And I think we can all agree, she’s worth it.

 

 

Airport officials say this is just the first step, and now they plan on figuring out how Dolly’s legacy will be included.  A final name has not yet been announced, although Dolly Parton International has been floated.

 

 

They’re also still debating whether the airport will keep its BNA airport code.
