Ind. Code § 36-7-14-18 – Appeals

(a) A person who filed a written remonstrance with the redevelopment commission under section 17 of this chapter and is aggrieved by the final action taken may, within ten
(10) days after that final action, file in the office of the clerk of the circuit or superior court a copy of the order of the commission and the remonstrator's remonstrance against that order, together with the remonstrator's bond conditioned to pay the costs of the remonstrator's appeal if the appeal is determined against the remonstrator. The only ground of remonstrance that the court may hear is whether the proposed project will be of public utility and benefit. The burden of proof is on the remonstrator.
(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 the filing of the appeal. The court shall hear evidence on the remonstrances, and may confirm the final action of the commission or sustain the remonstrances. The judgment of the court is final and conclusive, unless an appeal is taken as in other civil actions.
