Nashville airport board unanimously approves name change to honor Dolly Parton

The Nashville airport board of commissioners voted unanimously on Friday to approve a name change for the airport in honor of country music icon Dolly Parton. The decision follows previous support from the city's mayor and Tennessee's governor, who threw their backing behind the proposal last month.

The renaming serves as a tribute to the Smoky Mountain singer, whose economic impact is estimated to bring $1.8 billion each year to the state of Tennessee.
