Mayor Adrian Fenty wasted no time naming Neil Albert as his new city administrator, replacing Dan Tangherlini, who has been tapped for a high profile slot in the Treasury Department.

But Fenty is left with one major opening still to fill: Albert’s slot as deputy mayor for planning and economic development. Since 2007, Albert has molded, managed and moved forward the District’s $13 billion development pipeline. Fenty said Friday the decision was a couple weeks away; he declined to hint at possible replacements.
