AGP Executive Report
Last update: 2 hours agoAirport Renaming Push: Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee says Nashville International Airport could be renamed “Dolly Parton International Airport,” after speaking with Parton’s team and following a surge in fan support; the proposal heads to the Metro Nashville Airport Authority for discussion at its Sept. 17 meeting, with city leaders calling it a “love letter” to the late icon. Tourism & Culture: The move builds on BNA’s existing country-music identity and spotlights Parton’s tourism footprint, from Dollywood to her broader legacy that draws visitors to Music City. Travel Planning: Southwest is also ramping spring 2027 service, with record Sunday departures planned for Las Vegas and Nashville—good news for travelers booking ahead. Local Roads: TDOT construction and utility work is scheduled across Montgomery County and nearby Middle Tennessee areas starting Aug. 30 through Sept. 5, with lane restrictions and overnight activity. Wildlife Watch: A Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency report says black bears are slowly recolonizing parts of Middle and West Tennessee, likely as populations expand from neighboring states.
