Gary Bird, president of the board at Bissellville Estates, signs a document in favor of the resident purchase of a mobile home park in Hinsdale.
Gary Bird, a resident leader who has lived at the park for 15 years, said he and his neighbors feel a sense of relief. Advocates say the park was owned by a married couple for decades; after the husband died in 2022, the wife put it on the market.

The group helped residents organize and put together their winning offer.
