For the last year and a half, we’ve been known as SunSet City. The name commemorated the farm that once operated on the property: Sunset Hill Farm.
The community has rallied around the project and spread the word about SunSet City with signs, shirts, petitions, websites, and FB posts.
As a way of saying thank you and showing the ultimate form of community pride, we’ve renamed the project 508 International.
508 is our area code—it’s part of everyone just as everyone is part of this project. As the programs and events take shape, we see that the project will have a much larger reach than “city”—it’s already attracting professional athletes, emerging artists, and innovative entrepreneurs from near and far. “International” reflects the diverse talent and competition coming right to our backyard.
Moving forward, the project will be known as 508 International, or 508INTL for short. We’ve even heard “The 508.” SunSet City will continue to exist as a support management company.
