ILTennessee Governor Bill Lee announced plans to rename Nashville International Airport after country music legend Dolly Parton, following a social media campaign by fans honoring her after her death at age 80. The proposal comes despite the current Metro Nashville Airport Authority policy, which requires individuals to be deceased for at least two years before being honored with a name change. The renaming will be discussed at a meeting on September 17. Parton, a native of Tennessee, had a prolific career spanning decades, known for hits like 'Jolene' and 'I Will Always Love You,' and received numerous accolades including 11 Grammy Awards.
