Cormor / Data Shelter Wellington data center
Wellington, Sumner County, KS
Cormor / Data Shelter Wellington data center is an announced data center project in Wellington, KS. 3D-construction firm Cormor and Florida-based Data Shelter presented a conceptual waterless, battery-free 3D-printed data center to the Wellington City Council (work session March 12, 2026) for a site on the north end of town; Wellington's municipal power system (~40MW capacity) would supply power. The proposal cited about 18 permanent jobs (~$75k salaries) plus temporary construction jobs. Secondary trade-press coverage reports a potential 100MW/31,000 sq ft Tier IV target, not confirmed in the primary local report, so capacity is left null. Early negotiation stage as of research date, no signed agreement.
