Granary developer Colby Cox talks designing community, planning growth

Colby Cox is a fourth-generation Miltonian who left his mark on his hometown two decades ago, when he built Cannery Village. Today, the master-planned community surrounds the Dogfish Head brewery and helped launch the intimate, mixed-use development concept to Delaware. He's recently kickstarted work on his latest Delaware project, The Granary at Draper Farms – a massive project on Milton's southwest side, which will likely double the town's population in the next decade. Cox discussed the project, how he approaches building a community, how to view Sussex County's building boom and more in a sit-down interview with Spotlight Delaware.
