A man whose three businesses were damaged in a 2018 flood in Amado has settled with the state for $210,000.
John Benckâs settlement agreement, signed in April, was released last week by the Arizona Department of Administration.
His is the third settlement following a freak storm that dropped a half-foot of rain in the area, sending a wall of water down Sopori Wash and into the small community 10 miles south of Green Valley.
The storm struck Sept. 2-3, 2018, quickly overflowing the banks of Sopori Wash near Amado, flooding a home and several businesses, including the historic Cow Palace restaurant.

Pima County has closed the door on leasing parking space next to the former Canoa Hills Golf Course clubhouse purchased by GVR last year.
That leaves GVR CEO Scott Somers looking for other ways to recover tens of thousands of dollars lost when the board decided not to buy the parking lot at a bargain-basement price last fall when it bought the clubhouse.
Somers made the lease pitch in a series of emails this spring as a way for Pima County to provide parking for those using the county-owned Canoa Trails Park.
