The National Kitchen & Bath Association recently announced the winners of the NKBA Outstanding Student Award.

Sponsored by Toto, the award recognizes the top kitchen and bath design students at NKBA-accredited schools across North America, and rewards the top student at each school with a $450 scholarship. More than 30 schools with kitchen and bath design programs accredited by the NKBA received the award this year.

“Toto is proud to support future designers because it is their vision that will help develop and drive our industry,” said Toto’s Lenora Campos.

“The Outstanding Student Awards program recognizes an elite group, and Toto is honored to partner in their development. We look forward to the many ways they will contribute to this dynamic industry.”

Congressman Henry Johnson and Nathan Deal are sponsoring the Home Improvements Revitalize the Economy Act 2009 to provide tax credits to stimulate the purchase of kitchen cabinets and other remodeling and home furnishing improvements, according to an announcement.

Under this legislation, individual consumers and joint filers would receive $2,000 and $4,000 tax credits for purchasing items that meet recognized environmental standards (LEED, NAHB, Green Globes, SFI/FSC and ESP). Retailers, contractors and building product resellers can receive up to $10,000 for covered purchases. The incentives cease after three years.

A coalition including 14 associations representing kitchen cabinets (Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturers Assn.), home furnishings, flooring, paint and coatings, carpet and rug and other interests are supporting the legislation.
