COUSHATTA, La. — Demolition crews began work Monday morning, and by evening the former Red River Industries property had been cleared down to a clean slab at the site purchased by Willis-Knighton Medical Center in December 2025.

Willis-Knighton also purchased the office building next door, and while future plans for the properties have not yet been made public, residents say anticipation is building over what new health care services could be headed to Red River Parish.
