AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Labor Day Travel in Nashville: With the holiday weekend underway, Nashville is leaning into staycation mode—free outdoor Music City Kickoff shows at Centennial Park, plus the Music City Kickoff Concert at Nissan Stadium (Ole Miss vs. Louisville) and other weekend events. Road-Trip Costs: AAA and local reports say gas and diesel are hitting record highs, with diesel in the Mid-South pushing near $6 a gallon—adding pressure to Labor Day travel budgets. Safety & Planning: TDOT says lane closures are suspended for the holiday, but construction zones and speeding fines remain a concern; officials also urge safe driving during the busy stretch. Nature & Outdoors: Tennessee’s Division of Forestry opened its East Tennessee Nursery for tree seedling orders (native hardwoods, pines, and streambank-friendly species) through March 15, 2027. West Tennessee Tourism: New figures show Southwest Tennessee tourism brought in $482.7M in 2025, supporting 3,800+ local jobs and nearly $20M in local taxes. Smokies Spotlight: A new exhibit at the Oconaluftee Visitor Center honors Japanese immigrant George Masa, whose work helped shape Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Airport Upgrade Watch: Southwest plans to open new airport lounges, including Nashville, with the first locations rolling out in late 2027.
