Nashville airport board approves rental-car facility

Plans for a new $70 million rental car facility for the Nashville International Airport are back on track after the economic downturn left the project on hold.
The Nashville Airport Authority board reinstated its support in the project. The three-story parking facility will be north of the current short-term parking garage. The facility will house about 10 rental car companies and 1,600 vehicles.

Rental car users will pay a $4.50 facility fee, which will be collected as the new funding source used to pay debt once bonds are sold for the project. Airport Authority spokeswoman Emily Richard said bonds for the project are being marketed to be sold.
