The Nashville Airport Authority which is newly Republican-appointed is staking its claim in the building permit process. According to a recent letter that was sent to Metro Nashville, the Nashville Airport Authority believe that they have a say in the denial or approval of building permits within most of Davidson County if it is found that they affect the airport's operations.
The move made to allow the Nashville Airport Authority to stake claim in the building permit process came from a new state law and is a departure from previous procedures. The new state law which shifts the power of appointing board members from the Nashville mayor to certain state Republicans does not give the Airport Authority a final say on zoning decisions but does allow the Airport Authority to weigh in on permits impacting the airport.
As of now, the map that has been provided by the Airport Authority now covers a much larger area than before and now surrounds all of Davidson County.
