A new state law will dissolve the current Metro Nashville Airport Authority board on July 1 and establish a new one with a majority of state-appointed members. The current board plans to challenge this law by filing a lawsuit.
The Metro Nashville Airport Authority board is scheduled to hold a special meeting to vote on approving a lawsuit against the recently enacted state law. This legislation will vacate the existing board on July 1.
The new board structure will be primarily composed of members selected by the state, significantly altering the governance of the airport authority.
The current board members are taking action to legally contest the state's intervention in the airport authority's leadership.
This move signals a potential legal battle over the control and composition of the airport authority's governing body.
