A closer look at Worcester’s 2020 payroll: 90 of 100 top earners are police officers
Updated 10:07 AM;
Members of the Worcester Police Department represented 90 of the city’s top 100 earners in 2020, according to payroll records.
City Manager Edward Augustus Jr. took home the highest paycheck, making a total of $279,770 in 2020, keeping on trend with payroll records from previous years. Police Chief Steven Sargent received the city’s second-largest salary, taking home $239,130, records indicate.
Aside from police officers, a handful of other employees are among the highest-paid workers, including the city’s assistant city manager, administrators at the Worcester Public Schools, the city solicitor and the late DPW head.
The former Boys Club building in Worcester s Lincoln Square is being proposed for redevelopment as part of a 95-unit senior living facility.
The project would be built by Boston-based WinnCompanies, the same firm that created the Voke Lofts apartments a block away and the Canal Lofts on Water Street. The development is slated to begin next year.
As a first step, Winn needs City Council approval to construct a new five-story addition to the old Boys Club to include 64 of the project s units. Some of the building would rise over a road tunnel that passes under Lincoln Square, for which Winn is proposing to pay the city $100,000 for what are known as air rights for building above the roadway.
