The surviving family members of late Gov. Raúl Castro were awarded a six-figure settlement from the Arizona Board of Regents after the University of Arizona abandoned plans to turn Castro’s former Nogales home into an academic space.

In 2015, the Castro family agreed to convey the family home to the UA so the university could launch a border studies program, named after the former governor, in the house. In February, the university decided to halt the plans and announced its intentions to sell the home.

The Castro family has formally reclaimed the home in addition to receiving the settlement, said their attorney Briana Ortega. A specific dollar figure for the settlement was not made public.

“We recognize that this outcome is not only a victory for the family, but also for our border community,” Ortega said in a statement after the settlement was announced.
