Arias gives a push to power project on Río Térraba
By the A.M. Costa Rica staff
President Óscar Arias Sánchez took action Wednesday to jump start the $1.8 billion hydro project on the Río Grande de Térraba in southwestern Costa Rica.
Technically Arias signed a decree that labeled the project to be in the public interest and convenience. The plan is to build a 220-meter (715-foot) dam, create a lake larger than existing Arenal and construct the associated facilities to generate power.
The presidential action cleared the way for the Instituto Costarricense de Electricidad to continue with soil studies and other research before the anticipated start of actual construction in January 2009. The project is supposed to be finished in 2016 and generate 630 megawatts of power.

Southern Zone International Airport
Planning money allocated for southern zone airport
By the A.M. Costa Rica staff
Transport officials seem to have scaled back a plan for a jetport in the southern Zone. The new airport will have a runway 1,800 meters long, some 5,249 feet, said officials over the weekend.
They said this length would be sufficient for Sansa and Nature Air craft with some 48 to 50 passengers.
President Óscar Arias Sánchez said Saturday that he was happy that jets would be landing in the new airport. But he must have been talking about what officials call the last stage of the airport when a runway of 2,900 meters (9,514 feet) is planned. The date for that job has not been set.
The new airport will be in Valle del Sierpe, and Arias noted that the Daniel Oduber airport in Liberia caused fundamental changes for the Guanacaste area. He said he anticipated the same for the southern zone.
