Here are the top stories today in Cincinnati:

1. In Greater Cincinnati, the risk of flooding to that critical infrastructure is much higher than in most of the country, according to an Enquirer analysis of new research from a nonprofit organization studying climate change. The risk of infrastructure flooding here is nearly double the national median, according to an Enquirer analysis of the data. Locally, almost 129,000 properties are currently at risk. That number is expected to increase by thousands over the next few decades. (The Cincinnati Enquirer)
2. The Jewish Cincinnati Bicentennial partnered with Cincinnati Parks and other community organizations to hold the fourth annual Ezz Fest at Laurel Park in the West End. The Bicentennial continued its focus on this historic area by becoming a major partner in not only the festival, but also the revitalization of Laurel Park, and the dedication of a new statue of Ezzard Charles. The festival began as an opportunity to share the rich history of both Charles and the West End, sharing food, music, and art, serving to bring community members together. (americanisraelite.com)
3. The construction has wrapped up on Kemba Credit Union's new headquarters building that is now the tallest in West Chester Township. (Cincinnati Business Courier)
4. The Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden is naming its sloth habitat after an Indiana toddler who found comfort in sloths during his short life. (WTHR)
