The government of President Laura Fernández used a visit to Limón to highlight two large infrastructure commitments: a new hospital and an expanded airport.
The Costa Rican Social Security Fund, known as CCSS, will allocate 208 billion colones for the new Tony Facio Hospital. The project was presented as part of the government’s investment plans for the province.
Japdeva, the body responsible for the country’s port administration and development, will contribute $40 million toward expanding the airport. The two commitments place health infrastructure and transport capacity at the center of the government’s agenda for Limón.
The announcements came during a Government Council meeting in Limón, where Fernández appeared as part of an official tour. The plans represent investments worth hundreds of billions of colones in public infrastructure, alongside the dollar-funded airport project.
