MGN NASHVILLE -- Officials in Tennessee are taking steps toward naming the Nashville International Airport after Dolly Parton.
The Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority voted unanimously to approve a resolution toward the name change. The Airport Authority also modified its renaming policy, which previously stated a person must be dead for at least two years before an airport is named after them.
A final name for the airport has not been decided.
