Sec. 21. (a) If the development authority considers it necessary to acquire real property in or serving a development area by the exercise of the power of eminent domain, the development authority shall adopt a resolution setting out its determination to exercise that power and directing its attorney to file a petition on behalf of the development authority in the circuit or superior court of the county in which the property is situated. The resolution must be approved by the legislative body of the affected unit before the petition is filed.
(b) Eminent domain proceedings under this section are governed by IC 32-24 and other applicable statutory provisions for the exercise of the power of eminent domain. Property already devoted to a public use may be acquired under this section. However, property belonging to the state or a political subdivision may not be acquired without the consent of the state or the political subdivision.
(c) The court having jurisdiction shall direct the clerk of the circuit court to execute a deed conveying the title of real property acquired under this section to the development authority for the use and benefit of the development authority.
