Costa Rica President Laura Chinchilla on Wednesday promised the province of Limón a major push for development with the modernization of the Recope refinery and docks at Limón and Moín.

The impetus is expected to create some 2.000 direct and 6.000 indirect jobs during the construction stage alone.

The government’s announcement comes days before the JAPDEVA elects its new workers union representative.
