On July 24, 2007, in Costa Rica’s largest Spanish newspaper, La Nacion, it was reported that Belen was rated the #1 Municipality in Costa Rica for the third year in a row. There were 30 evaluations considered by the Control General of the Republic to determine how the municipalities had performed. Some of the considerations used were debt ratings, collection of taxes, usage of municipal funds to clean and improve the local infrastructure and growth from income and investments. Other popular western suburbs were in the top 10. Santa Ana was 2nd and Escazu was rated 6th.
We have an article about this – complete with the table – that will be activated on this site tomorrow

It’s not just about being “clean,” (I changed the title for you) which is obviously a challenge for all municipalities – there are 30 different indicators that the Contraloria reviewed to come up with the rankings.
What it did not mention about Belen was what sort of contribution is made by it’s biggest employer – Intel – which is by far the largest contributor to the Costa Rican GNP.
