Augusta comes closest, mainly due to size. It is in the tier of MSAs that are between 500K-1 million, just like Greensboro, Winston-Salem, and Durham. Augusta is a little lower than them on the totem pole, but they are all peer cities nonetheless. Augusta compares favorably with those three in terms of retail and the medical industry in particular.

Columbus isn't quite yet in that tier of cities, although it comes closer to matching the NC second-tier cities (particularly Greensboro and Winston-Salem) in terms of its corporate base than Augusta.

Greensboro and Winston Salem are both the same metro area and significantly larger than Augusta.

I think saying that well, Columbus is the 2nd largest metro in GA, so it's the most similar to Greensboro is silly and misguided. The better discussion is what NC city is most comparable to Columbus (considering that is more related to the OP) and the answer is Fayetteville... similar size city and both home to large military bases...

Columbus is the second-largest municipality in Georgia, not metro. But I agree that Fayetteville is most like Columbus.

Exactly. Thinking that Augusta is in the same league as the Greensboro area is just plain silly.

Exactly, it is all one large area. There is no city in Georgia that can compete against that area.

Yes, they are one CSA that consists of two separate MSAs. As individual MSAs, Greensboro, Winston-Salem, and Augusta are all in the same league, along with other regional MSAs like Greenville, Columbia, Charleston, Chattanooga, etc. However, as a singular region (CSA), no, the Triad has no equivalent in GA.
