New Outlet Mall Set To Bring Upscale Stores, Traffic To Sunbury
By: DENISE YOST | NBC4
Published: December 04, 2012
A new outlet mall is coming to Delaware County, and that means jobs and bargains – along with more traffic for an already busy interchange. Tanger Outlets Corporation is building a 350,000 square foot mall at Interstate 71 and state Routes 36/37, and it's scheduled to be open for the 2014 holiday season.

I'm not trying to be contrarian, but I'm not sure that an outlet mall 11 miles north of 270 off I-71 is going to have any effect on dining in Crosswoods.
You're not being contrarian, you are simply stating your opinion, which happens to be absolutely correct in this case. Calm down, take a deep breath, and quit worrying…..I don't think Walker will put you on the naughty list just yet. But then again...

We hold this truth to be self evident. It is refreshing, however, to see you be so humble

Ah there it is......never mind then. A secondhand professional. As always, your expert opinion is appreciated.

Ah, mockery. The sincerest form of blog moderation.
Its too early to be picking fights. Give it a rest.

Homework time, I'm just starting to read the stormwater standards for Delaware County, and I've already found this:
The lack of not meeting any of the requirements mentioned above shall be
cause for disapproval of the plan.
Needs an editor.
It's Article IX in the Standards Manual:
Is there much rush hour traffic that far north of 270? Whenever I've driven thru Lodi or Jeffersonville, zero issues with traffic.

I bet it's a real page turner.
OK, done reading it.
I was looking for anything calling for, or allowing, anything like rain gardens. There are requirements for detention basins, but it seems they are constrained to seeded (grass) areas meeting criteria like degrees of slopes and discharge area design. BTW any basin has to have a designed overflow able to handle a 100-year storm with the normal outlet plugged. Dang I thought I was hard-assed about designing for overflow.
Anyway it seems there's no encouragement of "green design" elements.
Proposed mall nearby creates job possibilities for Morrow Countians
By Randa Wagner -

for what its worth, since i've seen a couple posts about why this sort of development isn't being targeted for the city core or nearby districts such as the westside casino...i believe there are agreements in place that keep retailers from opening an outlet store within a certain mile limit to existing stores. it is meant to protect the existing stores from losing business. as a result, i'd be surprised if any of the stores at this new outlet have a presence at polaris.
Make that two outlet malls....

Press Release:
CRAIG REALTY GROUP ANNOUNCES SITE OF NEWEST DEVELOPMENT JUST NORTH OF COLUMBUS
December 19, 2012, Orange County, CA -- Craig Realty Group, the well-established developer of upscale factory outlets centers announces plans for a 350,000 square foot outlet center located just North of Columbus, Ohio, in the city of Sunbury. The location is within the NorthGate Centre Development which is comprised of 1,000 acres East and West of I-71, just south of the Route 36/37 Interchange.
"After almost two years of research, including dialogue with community building authorities and conducting transportation studies, we believe we have found the ideal location for the new center," remarked Steven L. Craig, President and CEO of Craig Realty Group.
While three other companies have announced outlet sites within the Columbus market, which have yet to be deemed as viable, Craig Realty Group has been working closely with its joint venture partner NorthGate Centre Development and has taken the proper considerations to ensure our site will not only be a much-visited place where people gather, dine, and enjoy shopping in the national brand name stores they will bring to the center, it will be in a prime location and easily accessible to the community without compromising the natural environment. The commitment of our development partner of ensuring the infrastructure improvements to the area was a vital decision in site selection.
Craig Realty Group takes great care to create outlet centers with wide walkways, awning- covered spaces, and five-star amenities and luxury restrooms, all enhanced by local landscaping befitting the top brand-names we feature. The planned development will house a collection of national and local retail brands that offer the best bargains and highest caliber merchandise for the value-oriented shopper and is slated to break ground in late 2013 to early 2014.
Two won't go ... One will win the outlet battle and one will lose long before a shovel hits the ground.
