What makes Milam County different: Milam County's economy was reshaped by the 2008 idling and later sale of Alcoa's Rockdale aluminum smelter and its lignite holdings, with the roughly 31,000-acre Sandow Lakes Ranch site now redeveloped for industry and a large Riot Platforms cryptocurrency/data-center campus. After Little River Healthcare closed its Cameron and Rockdale hospitals in December 2018, the 25-bed Critical Access Richards Memorial Hospital in Rockdale is the county's sole inpatient facility.
