CONWAY — Residents of Lamplighter Park Mobile Home Community in Conway completed the purchase Tuesday of their 247-unit park, making it New Hampshire’s 131st resident-owned community (ROC).
“With this purchase, we now have an opportunity to improve our living conditions here at Lamplighter Park and make it an even more desirable community for current and future residents,” said Tom Moughan, vice president of Black Bear Village Cooperative Inc., the body formed by residents that purchased the community.
