The Select Board on Feb. 3 authorized FXM Associates to conduct a peer review of the fiscal impact analysis for the Lakeville Country Club project, contingent on reference checks and confirmation that no conflicts of interest exist.
Town staff presented four firms that Thorndike Development had identified as potential reviewers; the town planner reported FXM could "turn it around in a week" and quoted a fee of $2,100. The board discussed the tight window for completing a peer review if the project timetable is to remain on track and favored a reviewer who could both meet the schedule and demonstrate Massachusetts experience.
A member moved to approve FXM Associates with conditions that staff complete reference checks and confirm there are no conflicts. The motion was seconded and passed by roll-call vote.
The board directed staff to notify the developer of the selection and to report back if FXM's references or conflict checks reveal any concerns. The decision does not itself alter the project’s timeline or approvals; it only authorizes the town to procure an independent peer review to validate the project's fiscal assumptions.
