D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser has selected a former appointee in President Joe Biden’s General Services Administration to lead the city’s planning and economic development office, filling a position left vacant by the departure of embattled former Deputy Mayor John Falcicchio.
Acting Deputy Mayor Nina Albert, a former executive with the Washington Metropolitan Transit Authority and commissioner in the GSA, will return to run the office after two years of federal civil service.
“A leader with a proven track record of innovation, sustainability, and using public real estate to support communities and economic development, she prioritizes collaboration, fosters a diverse culture of high performers and encourages growth mindset and creative ideas,” Bowser’s office said in its announcement.
Keith Anderson, who was serving as an interim leader in the Office of Planning and Economic Development, will shift gears to become the new deputy mayor for Operations and Infrastructure.
