States have started to receive large sums of money from the federal government, more than some states have ever received at one time. And they can potentially get more. That’s right. The American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) of 2021 is here, and it holds 350 billion reasons why you should pay attention to it.

ARPA includes in the Fiscal Recovery Funds (FRF) one of the largest fiscal advances to state and local government budgets in recent history. With strategic planning, these funds, along with the ARPA’s other allocations for public health, education, infrastructure and mass transit agencies, can stabilize, revitalize and position communities for short-term benefits and a stronger long-term future.

So, what does this mean and how can Helms help? This unprecedented ARPA federal funding now makes it possible to address the infrastructure and structural repairs that are an ongoing challenge in our state. These repairs are often projects now covered by ARPA funds, and the coverage allows for room to dream big and cast your net wide.

When you combine the solid, low-cost Helms solution with the infrastructure coverage provided by ARPA funds, you can address more projects. To make it clear – there is much that Helms can do that would be covered under these funds. It’s the proverbial opportunity of a lifetime to make your funds go further and accomplish projects for your community. Let Helms make YOU the community hero!

Here’s why. Our area has no shortage of soil issues and aging infrastructure. We know firsthand how inconvenient and costly it can be to excavate a busy road to fix a leaking culvert or wait days for concrete demolition and cure. In the past, these projects were often put off due to cost and disruption, but not with Helms! Not only does Helms Polyfoam have permanent, MDOT-approved solutions, but our cost-effective repairs require minimal downtime.

Our polyurethane lifting foam (Chemical Grout) is very strong, 14,000 psf at a free rise and can multiply by 10x in a confined space. They can be used to level highways, airport slabs and support the heaviest freight trains. So don’t let the word “foam” fool you. These resins cure to strengths beyond what is needed to support any structure while repairing many infrastructure problems. Don’t believe us? Come see for yourself! Let Helms help you use these ARPA funds to work on infrastructure projects that will make a lasting impact in your community. There’s no better time than now to stretch your dollar further.
