CONWAY — Normally, when you walk into a store at Settlers Green, you are greeted with racks of products. But this week, at the empty storefront next to Lindt Chocolatier on Monday, the space buzzed with volunteers, working in an assembly-line fashion to construct around 140 window inserts over the course of four days.Â
In a collaboration between the Tin Mountain Conservation Center and Window Dressers, a non-profit based out of Rockland, Maine, several dozen local volunteers came together to build custom window inserts to reduce homes' heat loss and provide them at a reduced cost.
