The Tico Times reported that President, Oscar Arias, signed a contract to build a new $35 million terminal at Liberia’s Daniel Oduber International Airport, in the Guanacaste province.
The new terminal is expected to serve 1,500 additional passengers per day in a multi-level facility of 23,000M2 of new construction. President Arias announced that the project will be fast-tracked with hopes of inaugurating the new building before he leaves office.
The international airport has already become a popular airport, receiving nearly 454,693 passengers in 2008. This new expansion is on the tail of a recent $6.7 million expansion by MOPT of airplane hangar space.
Other modern commercial growth has been exploding in the Liberia area including the 1 million square-meter mega-complex Solarium (http://www.solariumcr.com/main.php) and Latin America’s best private hospital CIMA (www.hospitalcima.com) is building a new hospital in Liberia.
CIMA Liberia will be Guanacaste’s first state-of-the-art private hospital and is estimated to be completed by early 2011.
