Proposed name change

Legislation was introduced into the Vermont Senate in 2007 to change the official name of the airport from the "'Rutland Regional Airport'" to the "'Rutland–Southern Vermont Regional Airport'".[1]
The state agency of transportation, meanwhile, has plans to bring about the name change administratively. However their plan is to change it to the "'Rutland/Southwest Vermont Regional Airport'". This has provoked some opposition from the town of Bennington on the grounds that the William H. Morse State Airport (located in the town), is currently known as "Southwest Vermont's Airport". The agency has indicated that it intends to go ahead with the name change anyway, claiming that Bennington's opposition came too late in the process.[2]
