The Columbus GA metro area, a vibrant and growing hub in the Chattahoochee Valley, stands as a testament to the resilience, innovation, and community spirit of its residents. This dynamic region, spanning Muscogee, Harris, and Chattahoochee counties in Georgia, along with Russell County in Alabama, covers approximately 2,200 square miles. It is home to over 325,000 people, making it a significant urban center in the southeastern United States. Columbus, the area’s largest city and the heart of the metro, along with Phenix City in Alabama, offers a unique blend of urban amenities, historical richness, and southern charm.

From whitewater rafting and kayaking to peaceful riverside walks, the river is a focal point of community life and leisure activities.

The economy of the metro area is diverse, with significant contributions from the military, manufacturing, healthcare, and education sectors. Fort Benning, one of the largest U.S. Army installations in the world, is a major employer, providing a stable economic base and fostering a strong sense of community among military families, veterans, and civilians alike. Other major employers include Aflac, TSYS, and St. Francis Hospital, each playing a crucial role in the region’s economic development and stability.

Education is a key pillar of the area, with institutions such as Columbus State University and Chattahoochee Valley Community College offering a wide range of programs designed to meet the evolving needs of the workforce and the community.
