The Craig Realty Group plans to open a 350,000-square-foot outlet center in Sunbury.

According to the company, which stated in a release that it is the largest independent outlet developer in the country, said that the outlet facility is slated for 1,000 acres east and west of Interstate 71, just south of U.S. Route 36 and state Route 37.
