Sec. 16. (a) A person who files a written remonstrance with the redevelopment commission under section 15 of this chapter and who is aggrieved by the final action taken may, within ten (10) days after that final action, file with the office of the clerk of the circuit or superior court of the county a copy of the redevelopment commission's resolution and the person's remonstrance against the resolution, together with the person's bond as provided by IC 34-13-5-7.
(b) An appeal under this section shall be promptly heard by the court without a jury. All remonstrances upon which an appeal has been taken shall be consolidated and heard and determined within thirty (30) days after the time of filing of the appeal. The court shall decide the appeal based on the record and evidence before the redevelopment commission, not by trial de novo, and may confirm the final action of the redevelopment commission or sustain the remonstrances. The judgment of the court is final and conclusive, unless an appeal is taken as in other civil actions.
