Brett Bibeau at forefront of Miami River's renaissance as director of 18-member commission formed by state
Once described as "a cesspool," the Miami River is taking on a new and vibrant life thanks to an effort of the public and private sectors and other activists to clean it up and generally improve it and the surrounding land. At the center of the effort is a body set up by the Florida Legislature - the Miami River Commission.
Heading the 18-member commission as managing director is Brett Bibeau, who sees the river as playing a vital role in the community as it undergoes a renaissance.
Mr. Bibeau, 34, who held a number of positions in legislative offices in Washington and in the mid-1990s was a paralegal with Miami law firm Steel Hector Davis before joining the Miami River Commission in 2000, was interviewed by Miami Today international editor Michael Hayes.
