Crain’s Cleveland Business has hired Michelle Jarboe as an enterprise reporter.
She will start May 18.
Jarboe was previously at the Cleveland Plain Dealer as a commercial real estate reporter for 12 years, but she was laid off by the paper in April amid mass cuts.
Jarboe is a former president of the National Association of Real Estate Editors. Jarboe has been with the Plain Dealer since 2007 covering commercial real estate, development and the housing market for Ohio’s largest daily newspaper.
Before that, she worked at The News & Record in Greensboro, North Carolina, where she wrote about retail, development, planning, zoning and consumer utilities on the paper’s business staff.
Jarboe, a UNC-Chapel Hill graduate, improved her knowledge of real estate by receiving a graduate certificate in urban real estate development and finance from Cleveland State University.
