News 12 Long Island has learned some Sag Harbor residents are outraged over the school district's plan to buy a piece of land and build an athletic facility.

As News 12 has reported, the district wants to buy a four-acre site next to Pierson High School -- costing the average tax payer $18. That's if the plan is approved in the 2024 budget.

Some residents against the move formed a group called 'Citizens of Sag Harbor.'

They say it would take away character from the village.
