José Juventino Leonardo Castro Sanchez[1] (25 January 1919 – 3 February 2006) was a Mexican transportation and political entrepreneur.
[3][4] He initially studied at the School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering of the Instituto Politécnico Nacional in Mexico City, but was unable to finish his degree because of funding.
In 1946 he was appointed director of State Transit, at a time when contact with freight carriers from the Midwest emerged.
During his governorship, he oversaw the construction of several dams, wells and roads as well as the University Center of the Autonomous University of Queretaro, facilities of the Queretaro Institute of Technology, and the Exhibition Center.
[citation needed] Castro Sanchez retired from politics at the end of his term as governor in 1973.
