NORWALK, CT Touting it as a way to help improve the quality of life in the area, local and state political leaders, and local civic leaders, Thursday praised a state investment of $3 million to upgrade the infrastructure along the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive corridor in South Norwalk.
Called the MLK Corridor Initiative, the community planning and development program is a national effort that looks to improve many of the streets, avenues, drives and boulevards named after the civil rights icon. There are more than 900 streets named after Dr. King across 41 states, and many are located in urban and inner city areas that have been financially neglected.

We re talking about a $100 billion proposal by ExxonMobil.
Basically, a facility would be built to collect emissions from refineries, petrochemical plants and other facilities and then store the carbon in a reservoir thousands of feet below the Gulf of Mexico.
