His family also has strong family ties to Hartselle. Janice’s grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Howad James, owned and operated a grocery store at the corner of Main and Railroad Streets for many years.

Roberson released the following position statements as part of his campaign platform:

•Our new high school and business park give us an advantage when we present Hartselle as a prime location for new businesses and industries.

•We need the empty stores in the central business district to be filled with businesses. “With the money the city has received to address a drainage problem, we should be able to attract businesses to that area.
