In 2019, residents at Black Bear Village Cooperative in Conway, N.H., bought Lamplighter Mobile Home Park from Hynes Corporation. Since the late 60s, the community was owned by various cooperate and private entities under the Lamplighter Park name. There were no signs on the property identifying the 240-home community as Black Bear Village Cooperative and the Co-op needed a new sign to increase the accessibility of the community for emergency and other essential vehicles while enhancing a sense of belonging and community among residents. Black Bear Village was awarded $2,000 to create new signage for the community.
