AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Dolly Parton in Tennessee: Tennessee Governor Bill Lee says Nashville International Airport will be renamed for Dolly Parton after a petition topped 160,000 signatures, with Parton’s team “open to continuing the conversation.” Tourism impact: Pigeon Forge leaders credit Parton with turning the area into a global destination through Dollywood, boosting jobs and local business. Final farewell: A family member confirmed Parton was privately laid to rest after her Aug. 25 death, with donations directed to Imagination Library. Outdoor travel: A new look at how hike-and-bike trails are giving “second acts” to former factory towns, plus a reminder that Appalachian Trail plans still need attention. Local travel logistics: Clarksville Gas and Water schedules a Ridgeway Drive water outage and road closure for valve replacement on Aug. 31. Road-trip costs: GasBuddy reports the lowest regular gas in Carroll County at $3.53/gal (week ending Aug. 22), with premium prices also easing in parts of Tennessee.
