Columbus Georgia, Fort Benning Georgia and Phenix City Alabama make up our TRI-CITY Community. Columbus Georgia was the first local government to consolidate county and city services to form the Columbus Consolidated Government. Consolidation sparked a period of change and growth. AFLAC grew from a regional supplemental insurance provider to a national and international provider, finally to a household word. Columbus is also the home of TSYS, a data processing company that services many of your credit cards. Total Systems has grown from a small basement and back room ClearingHouse for CB&T, to an international PowerHouse. Columbus is growing and changing!
